Princess had, in April 2021, accused the veteran actor of assaulting the 14-year-old girl since she was 7, and he was subsequently arrested but later released on bail on health grounds.
However, after months of legal wrangling, Baba Ijesha was convicted before the Ikeja Domestic Violence and Sexual Offences Court on Thursday, July 14.
The presiding judge, Justice Oluwatoyin Taiwo, in her judgement, convicted Baba Ijesha of indecent treatment, sexual assault, and attempted sexual assault of Princess’ foster daughter and sentenced him to a 16-year jail term that will run concurrently.
A few moments after the verdict was passed, Princess shared a video of herself singing along to a song of thanksgiving.
“God is not man”, she captioned the post.
