Nollywood actress, Tonto Dikeh has vowed to use all her influence to deal with her colleague, Baba Ijesha, who was arrested for allegedly defiling a minor.
KanyiDaily recalls that Baba Ijesha, a 48-year-old Yoruba actor, was arrested on Thursday for allegedly defiling a 14-year-old girl since the past 7 years.
The actor has confessed to defiling the little girl since when she was seven, and he was also captured by a CCTV camera in the house of the complainant.
Reacting to the incident on her Instagram page, Tonto Dikeh said she will personally make sure Baba Ijesha never sees the light of day as he will rot in jail.
“If the allegations are true, I hope he rots in jail and they do the same thing to him when his soap drops. If this is true, I will personally make sure he never sees the light of day.”
The actress also used her platform to call on women to show solidarity over the matter. She emphasised that Baba Ijesha must not be released on bail.
“We will, together as women, stand up and use our voices to make awareness of what this man has done. Anyone with information on this, please contact me. This evil man must not be released nor granted bail. They may tweak the law to his favour as a celebrity, what we should all do is repost this and tag foreign and local authorities.
“He raped us all when he raped her. Mothers, come out, they have stabbed us. This is the face of a celebrity rapist. This is the face of evil that pleasures himself with a seven-year-old for seven years.
“He is a Nollywood/Yoruba actor (I don’t know him, never heard of him either). He may be your favourite star. Have you heard what he did to the life of a seven-year-old girl? He raped a seven-year-old girl for seven years.”
KanyiDaily had also reported how another Yoruba actor, Ganiyu Oyeyemi popularly known as Ogunjimi, was arrested for allegedly raping one of his daughter’s friends at Osogbo, his home town.
