We’ve not considered Baba Ijesa for bail, his offence bailable- Odumosu
The Commissioner of Police in Lagos State, Hakeem Odumosu, has assured Lagosians that the popular actor accused of child molestation is still in police custody and has not been considered for bail.
The commissioner who addressed newsmen this morning (Friday), said, “Baba ijesha is still in our custody, we have not considered him for bail. His crime is however a bailable offence”.
This followed ferocious protests on Thursday by some activists who alleged that the police had perfected plans to free the embattled actor today, Friday.
The actor’s accuser, Comedienne Princess, on Thursday was accompanied by supporters and activists, including notable Nollywood actors, to the State Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department, Panti, where Baba Ijesa is being held, to register their displeasure with the report of the impending release of the suspect.
Actresses, Tonto Dikeh and Iyabo Ojo, have vowed to rearrest their embattled colleague if he is released by the police.
Dikeh said she was ready to foot the bill for the transportation and accommodation of the victim’s parents and supporters in Abuja, where she plans to escalate the matter to.
