Actor, Yomi Fabiyi, has asked the police to release his colleague, Baba Ijesha, who was jailed for allegedly raping a 14-year-old girl.
According to him, it is against the law to hold a suspect without trial. He added that it is against the law to deny anyone bail for a bailable offence.
“Release baba ijesha on bail now! it’s is against the law to hold any suspect down longer than allowed under our law without trial/bail bail for any bailable offense in Nigeria.
To continue hold him is against his Fundamental rights,it is injustice and abuse of power. Do not indulge in it.
No more police illegal detentions, know your rights and fight for it.
-Yomi Fabiyi
Baba Ijesha has been in police custody for over two weeks after he was arrested for allegedly defiling a minor who is the foster daughter of comedienne, Princess.
