Nollywood actor Yomi Fabiyi has broken his silence following the release of his colleague, Baba Ijesha, from custody. In a lengthy Instagram post shared on November 16, 2025, Fabiyi expressed his joy over the development, stating that the embattled actor is now 'back and better.'
Fabiyi's Reaction and Allegations of a 'Charade'
Fabiyi revealed his happiness that the court cleared Baba Ijesha on certain charges related to the high-profile case. He did not hold back in his criticism of the original proceedings, which involved a minor, insisting that the entire situation was, in his own words, 'a charade.' The actor proceeded to make several serious allegations regarding how the case was managed from its inception.
He claimed that the individuals who initially set up the sting operation provided misleading information concerning the age of the girl involved. Fabiyi further accused certain people connected to the case of engaging in wrongdoing. He was careful to stress that these were his personal claims and opinions, and not established facts that had been proven in a court of law.
Claims of Negligence and Emotional Harm
Delving deeper into his allegations, Yomi Fabiyi asserted that the young girl at the center of the matter experienced negligence during the evidence-gathering process. He also pointed a finger directly at comedian Princess, who was a central figure in bringing the case to light.
Fabiyi accused Princess of contributing to emotional harm, reiterating once more that these statements represented his personal views and were not official judicial findings from the court.
A Stance on Justice and Due Process
Amidst his strong claims, the actor took a moment to clarify the position of his organization. He repeated that his group does not support abuse of any kind and never has. Fabiyi explained that his advocacy work has consistently focused on demanding three key things: a fair investigation, due process, and a consistent application of the law for all citizens.
He concluded his social media statement with a firm resolution, insisting that he will continue his campaign against what he describes as 'selective justice' within the Nigerian system. The actor's post has since sparked significant reactions online, reopening public discussion on the controversial case.
