BEVERLY HILLS, April 30, (THEWILL) – The chairman of the Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NIDCOM), Abike Dabiri, has berated Baba Ijesha, the Yoruba actor who admitted to molesting a 14-year-old girl.
THEWILL writes that social media has been littered with criticism as public figures condemned the action of the suspect.
Taking to her Twitter account on Thursday, Dabiri dismissed Baba Ijesha’s plea for mercy as portrayed in a now-viral video where he admitted to the crime.
According to her, the case would earn him no less than 14 years imprisonment.
“So despicable! The act by Yoruba actor, Baba Ijesha, who defied a girl, at 7 years and later at 14 years! Who knows how many the pedophile could have damaged if he wasn’t caught,” Dabiri wrote.
“I sponsored the violence against person’s law. The penalty is nothing less than 14 years in prison. His plea begging on some video I watched should not be acceptable.
“We should all do all we can to support the girl’s foster mother, Princess, to ensure this case goes to court and fully tried, and maximum sentence passed on him.”
