A renowned Nollywood actor and producer, Yomi Fabiyi, has
said he does not owe comedian, Damilola Adekoya popularly known as Princess an
apology for supporting fellow actor Baba Ijesha
This is coming two months after Nollywood actor, Olanrewaju
James, alias Baba Ijesha, was convicted for indecent treatment of Princess’
foster daughter and sexual assault of the minor among other offences by the
court.
Yomi Fabiyi said this in an interview with media personality
Morayo Afolabi-Brown on Your View TV show on Friday.
“Naturally I don’t think I owe an apology because there was
that misconception about what I was actually standing for. And I’m of opinion
that Nigerians were not raised with basic ideas and tenets of human rights. We
were not raised to understand that when an issue is brought up, the key actors
in any case deserve their right to be protected. When I noticed that the right
of the victim and complainant is given to them, why should anybody feel sad or
feel bad that I am agitating that the right of the defendant also be upheld.”
After the conviction, Princess took to social media to rain
curses on Yomi Fabiyi and others who supported Baba Ijesha during the trial.
Baba Ijesha through his counsel, later approached the court
for post-conviction bail, pending the determination of his appeal at the Lagos
Division of the Court of Appeal.
