Yomi Fabiyi, who previously accused his colleagues of being “malicious” since there was no “clear-cut evidence” of Baba Ijesha molesting a minor prior to his arrest, has now characterized the newly released CCTV video of the actor being caught in the act as a “setup.”

In a tweet, Fabiyi said that framing someone up is a crime, and those responsible will spend more time in jail than Baba Ijesha because a minor is involved.

He wrote:

I still reserve huge respect and trust in the current leadership of the Lagos Police Command @policenglagos@nigeriapoliceforce , hence the benefit of the doubt.

If all the adults involve are not arrested within seven days(7) with thorough investigations done to know the extent of damage done to the young girl beyond what we already know, then it is safe to say that the Officers in Charge are ignorant of all the laws that protect children in this state. Someone MUST loose their pay cheques to say the least.

Emotions doesn’t win case, facts does. Every parent and guardian MUST understand raising a child well is the nucleus of the society. The following beg for URGENT answers:

1. What kind of adoption?

2. The framework of the adoption.

3. Did the Police inform the social services and when was the minor taken away from the guardian?

4. Is it true that suspect(s) are in custody for having carnal knowledge of the victim since last week and why is the Police silent about this?

5. And the Governor of Lagos State, The CP and Ministry of Youths should tell Lagosians and Nigerians why all the adults that are involved in the pre-miditated act of subjecting young innocent girl to the dehumanising, painful and excruciating truama NOT yet arrested? A temporary restraining order needed against all these adults going close to any children. They are all SICK.

I cannot believe some of my colleagues who had seen this video ahead of me choose to ignore or went silent about these terrible part of the incidents. The tormentor was tortured right before a child, this is not right. THEY HAVE RUINED AND DONE TOO MUCH DAMAGE to that child. The law is sacrosanct.

SAVE THE NEXT CHILD, LEAVE WHAT YOU ARE DOING NOW, A LAGOS THAT PROTECTS CHILDREN FROM EVERY CHILD ABUSER IS MY LAGOS. We owe every child that duty of care, I owe your child, you owe mine. Total justice for the innocent girl.
