ABIKE DABIRI-EREWA REACTS TO BABA IJESHA'S CASE, SAYS MAXIMUM SENTENCE MUST BE PASSED ON HIM

    Reacting to the rape allegation levelled against Nollywood actor, Baba Ijesha, Chairman of the Nigerians in Diaspora Commission, Abike Dabiri-Erewa has described the act as despicable and says maximum sentence must be passed on him, in a post she shared on twitter, adding that the actor's plea in the trending video should not be accepted.

“So despicable! The act by Yoruba actor, Baba Ijesha who defied a girl, at 7 and later at 14 years!! Who knows how many the paedophile could have damaged if he was not caught. I sponsored the violence against person’s law. The penalty is nothing less than 14 years in prison.

“His plea bargain on some video I watched should not be acceptable. We should all do all we can to support the girl’s foster mother, Princess, to ensure this case goes to court, fully tried and maximum sentence passed on him.”; she tweeted.
