Baba Ijesha appeal case: Human rights group issues new statement after court clearance

The Baba Ijesha appeal case triggers new reactions as a human rights group releases a statement after his court clearance, raising issues about justice and due process.

The Baba Ijesha appeal case has continued to generate public discussion following the Appeal Court’s decision to clear the actor of the charges previously upheld against him. A human rights group, led by advocate Yomi Fabiyi, has released a new statement reacting to the ruling, expressing relief over the judgment while raising concerns about alleged procedural flaws during the earlier stages of the case. According to the group, the Baba Ijesha Appeal Case reveals deeper questions about due process, fairness, and the influence of public sentiment on legal outcomes.


In their statement, the organisation emphasised that while they celebrate the outcome of the Baba Ijesha Appeal Case, they do not support or defend any form of abuse involving minors. However, they argue that the original handling of the case contained contradictions that required scrutiny. They maintain that their role has always been to advocate for the rule of law, equal treatment, and protection of human rights—principles they believe were compromised at various points in this highly publicised matter.

Context Behind the Appeal Court Decision

Supporters of the actor described the ruling as a moment of relief after years of emotional and legal battles. Fabiyi noted that the Appeal Court’s judgment exonerated Baba Ijesha from allegations of sexual misconduct or defilement of a minor. Still, the statement repeatedly reaffirmed that their observations are allegations and opinions—not legal findings beyond what the court itself determined. The Baba Ijesha Appeal Case has therefore reopened debates about how sensitive allegations should be investigated and presented in the public domain.

Key concerns raised by the human rights group

You are now officially FREE AND OUT. Baba Ijesha is not just back but BETTER.

I am also happy you were cleared by the APPEAL COURT of ever having sex/defile any child/minor. The 7-year-old story is a charade. We live in a terrible world, where sentiments and wickedness rise above the rule of law and truth.

Let it be on record that:

1.  Those that SET THE TRAP engaged in age falsification(because there was no single proof till date anywhere, not even in court that said victim was 14yrs). To me, they only weaponised abuse on child/minor to destroy a weak target and achieve vendetta.

2. Damola Adekola(Princess Comedian ally/neighbor and Security of the house with alias Okele who sexually abused this girl since 2020 are still out there. Damola Adekola, who practically had sex, confirmed the girl was his girlfriend and was asked to walk free despite initially being arrested alongside Baba Ijesha. Make it make sense: same case, same victim, same investigation.

3. Princess Comedian groomed the girl(minor) for sexual activities. This is coupled with negligence because sperm was found on the girl days after Baba Ijesha was arrested, and it is not for Baba Ijesha. She was even said to recently just lose her virginity.

4. Princess Comedian and her co-travellers engaged in CHILD PORNOGRAPHY by deliberately installing cameras on the same day Baba Ijesha was invited to act. She recorded how her foster daughter was sexually abused(THAT IS IF THE GIRL IS TRULY 14YRS).

5. Princess Comedian subjected the girl to re-truama. She practically wants the girl to suffer PTSD just because she wants to gather evidence(THAT IS IF THE GIRL IS TRULY 14YRS). She abused the rights of the girl because she relied on her for food, shelter, and guidance.


We, as a Human Rights Organization, never and will never condone or support any form of sexual abuse, let alone on children or minors. We will continue to fight against selective justice, abuse the fundamental human rights of any persons, and fight against organised crime like in the case of Baba Ijesha.

Prerequisites for Princess Comedian actions are errored. It has no propensity in law. Justice on two left.

The Baba Ijesha Appeal Case has become a symbol of the complex intersection between justice, media influence, human rights, and public emotion. The new statement from the Human Rights group underscores unresolved concerns about fairness and procedural integrity, even after the Appeal Court’s ruling.


As Nigeria continues working toward a more consistent and transparent justice system, this case stands as a reminder of the need to protect both the vulnerable and the rights of all accused persons in the pursuit of truth and justice.
