A police source in an interview with journalists had revealed that there was an order to release the actor as the courts are currently on strike and it would be against his fundamental human rights to continue keeping him in custody without trial.

The police source also added that the CCTV showed that the actor did not defile the victim. According to the source, it was a case of indecent assault and not sexual harassment, and it is open to bail.

Reacting to this development, Iyabo in a video posted on her IG page, said;

”This live video is for the people in charge of this case. We are going to say no to molestation and yes I stand to use one of my own as a scape goat. If they release Baba Ijesha, we are going to rearrest him and this will no longer be a state thing, it will now become Federal.”
