Nollywood actor and producer, Yomi Fabiyi, has penned an open letter to Lagos State Governor, Babajide Olusola Sanwo-Olu, regarding the ongoing Baba Ijesha rape case.
In the letter, Fabiyi raised concerns about Damola Adekola, whose sperm was allegedly found in the private part of the 14-year-old girl involved in the case.
He urged the governor to investigate Adekola’s role in the incident, as it was claimed that he had been harbored by Princess the Comedian, also known as Damilola Adekoya.
According to Fabiyi’s petition, the police investigation following Baba Ijesha’s arrest uncovered evidence of sexual abuse by both Damola Adekola and Okele, who resided in Princess’ house.
Fabiyi expressed disappointment that these individuals were not included in the trial proceedings alongside Baba Ijesha, despite the revelations.
Fabiyi emphasized the importance of fairness and clean hands in seeking justice. He expected the alleged perpetrators, Damola Adekola and Okele, to face trial alongside Baba Ijesha, but the prosecuting counsel provided excuses for their absence.
According to Fabiyi in the petition, a ‘POTENTIAL PEADOPHILE’ is allowed to walk free and Baba Ijesha who was allegedly lured to commit the immoral act was sentenced.
His letter reads, “It is a known fact that after Baba Ijesha’s arrest, police began an investigation, and days after SPERM was found on the fourteen (14) year old girl which led to her confession that one DAMOLA ADEKOLA, a close ally and neighbor to Princess has been having sex with her which led to Damola’s arrest and his subsequent confession too.
“The other suspect, the security in the house with the alias “Okele” escaped arrest. THEY HAVE NOT BEEN TRIED FOR ALMOST TWO YEARS NOW. I thought he will be presented for trial during Baba Ijesha’s case but the prosecution gave excuses on why he was not on trial, meaning a POTENTIAL PEDOPHILE is allowed walking free, and Baba Ijesha who was lured to sentence.
“The sad news is that he may have continued sexually exploiting the victim and unsuspecting victims who may be secretly licking their wounds. I say this because Princess Comedian confirmed in court she was aware a year before Baba Ijesha’s TRAP that the duo of Damola and her house security guard Okele have been sexually abusing the same bait girl, which she sought spiritual help only for.
“The danger of that is after Baba Ijesha’s arrest, SEMEN was still found on the girl’s private, a blatant case of CHILD NEGLIGENCE punishable under the laws of Lagos State. There are so many other concerns also on the veracity of “ADOPTION” Princess laid claims to. I doubt if there is evidence of legal adoption yet the trial and your government let that pass too.
“He who comes to EQUITY must come with CLEAN HANDS. There was also a rumor that the pregnancy was aborted twice for the girl. Respectfully, Sir, the few CHILD RIGHTS advocates in the form of NGOs, JOURNALISTS, ELITES, and CELEBRITIES who paid attention to the case appear to ignore some of these details in their reports either intentionally or through inadvertence. Sir, as an admired public officer who has the mandate of the good people of Lagos State, you are a man I value; keen, tenacious, forthright with a clear conscience.
“It is my appeal that you swing to action to kindly save the girl and save human rights. Posterity will NEVER forget you. I don’t want to lead any other protest or approach the court on this new development before THE RIGHT things are done in this matter, my conscience is telling me I have waited too long. May God guide the youths to the truth to know as only the truth can set Nigeria FREE. While thanking you for your prompt response and decision in this matter,” he said in his petition.
