Nollywood actress, Tonto Dikeh has come out to react to reports of collegue, Baba Ijesha possibly being released on Friday, April 30.This is coming after police revealed that investigation into the case shows the actor did not defile the victim.
The police said via a statement, “The CCTV footage has been assessed and nowhere was it captured that Baba Ijesha defiled her. The footage only showed him touching the victim’s body but it never showed him having any sexual intercourse with the girl. The girl also confirmed the same thing.”
“So, in law, it is a case of indecent assault and not sexual harassment, and it is open to bail. So, can we continue to keep him when the offence is subject to bail and when there is no court sitting? That is against his fundamental human rights and the police do not work on sentiments. Directives have been given out for his release on bail.”
Reacting, Tonto revealed that she knew the actor was going to be released in the end, and this was why she kept pushing for the case to be transferred to Abuja.
Her words, “BUT YOU KNOW WHAT “WHAT GOD CAN NOT DO DOES NOT EXIST…
LAGOS STATE @lagosstategovt YOU ARE FAILING YOUR DAUGHTERS, YOUR SONS…”
“@lagosstategovt THAT 7YEAR OLD GIRL NOW 14 IS YOUR DAUGHTER,
@lagosstategovt DID YOU EXPECT A MOTHER TO WATCH UNTIL PENETRATION TOOK PLACE BEFORE SHE STEPS IN TO STOP THE SEXUAL ASSAULT ACT?”
“@lagosstategovt DID HE NOT CONFESS REPEATEDLY AT YOUR STATION AND THE HOME HE WAS CAUGHT?”
WOW.
