BEVERLY HILLS, May 18, (THEWILL) – Popular Nollywood actress, Iyabo Ojo has vowed to pursue justice for the 14-year-old allegedly molested by fellow Nollywood actor, Olanrewaju James, better known as Baba Ijesha.
Iyabo Ojo disclosed this on Tuesday as she reacted to the bail granted Baba Ijesha by the police.
THEWILL had earlier reported that Baba Ijesha, who had been in detention for weeks following his arrest for alleged sexual molestation of a 14-year-old girl, was granted bail by the police on Monday.
According to his lawyer, Adesina Ogunlana, the actor was granted bail on health grounds.
Reacting to this development in a video on her social media page, Iyabo Ojo stated that Nigerians were the problem of the country and not the government.
The actress disclosed that Nigerians were not bothered about other people’s problems and the country could only get better when people were concerned about others.
She said: “I used to think the government was our problem. I have come to understand that we are our own problem not the government.
“The way we are wired, the way we think, it’s always all about us. Oh! She is not your child, why are pained about it? That’s the same problem we have in Nigeria.
“When someone like that gets to a place of power, they think about themselves and their people.
“We are the problem of Nigeria, the day we begin to take up issues that do not concern us and treat it like it is our own problem, Nigeria will begin to get better.
“I am that mother that will stand for that girl till the end. I am not backing down, justice will be served.”
