Baba Ijesha: Parental negligence is punishable by law – Yomi Fabiyi

Actor, Yomi Fabiyi has reacted to the sentence meted on his colleague, Baba Ijesha for sexually assaulting a minor

Baba Ijesha was on Thursday, July 14 sentenced to 16 years imprisonment

Fabiyi in his reaction said Baba Ijesha, has the right to appeal the judgement of the Ikeja court

He made this known in a post he shared on Instagram. According to him, Parental negligence is punishable by law as children are meant to be protected.

In his words; “Baba Ijesha was not NOT found guilty of The defilement (rape) with CAR KEY as charged (1&6) for lack of evidence, which he still denied ever committing but has been found guilty of few other charges bothering on sexual assault.”

“CHILDREN ARE MEANT TO BE PROTECTED. And I will insist that PARENTAL NEGLIGENCE is equally punishable under section 30(3) Child Rights Act. It is an imprisonment for ten years!

“I’m still committed to the frontiers of HUMAN RIGHTS and that all accused are innocent until proven guilty by the court of law. I thank the JUDGE for not punishing the defendant (Baba Ijesha) before today, until verdict is reached.”
