Nollywood actress Iyabo Ojo has slammed her colleagues who seem to be defending fellow actor Olanrewaju Omiyinka, better known as Baba Ijesha, alleged to have defiled a 14-year-old girl.

Taking to her verified Instagram account, Iyabo stated that the people defending rapists are the main reason why many girls don’t come out to share their ordeals.

She also used the opportunity to call on the public to cut down on the rate at which the news is going viral and respect the sensibilities of the minor involved.

In her words: “please let’s be mindful in my industry… this is a very sensitive issue & we should all remember that a 14years old child is involved……. she is watching the Internet, if you can’t support or help her don’t hurt her the more… Thank You.”

However, Baba Ijesha, 48, has been reportedly arrested by the Lagos State Police Command for allegedly defiling a 14-year-old girl.

A statement by the police said based on preliminary findings, the suspect started sexually assaulting the victim since she was seven years old.

“The suspect however has confessed to the crime and was captured by a CCTV camera in the house of the complainant,” the statement said.
