Speaking before the Lagos State Special Offences Court in Ikeja, Lagos, on Monday, Princess said she met Baba Ijesha in 2008 at an event and the two decided to start making comedy skits together.
She also claimed Baba Ijesha wooed her in the process of their work relationship but she rejected his proposal.
Princess said she got close to the actor afterwards, especially after her marriage crashed around 2013.
“I invested in his education and he visited me at home thereafter,” she said.
Baba Ijesha has been in court since April 22, 2021 after the Lagos State Police Command arrested him for allegedly sexually assaulting a 14-year-old girl in Princess’s care.
He was charged on six counts of sexual assault by penetration, indecent treatment of a child, and sexual assault.
The actor, who is being tried by Justice Taiwo over charges bordering on rape, sexual assault and abuse of a minor, was however granted bail on the ground that it was his fundamental human right.

Woo wooer woobi, Awon ti cubana
ReplyDeleteWhy mentioning Cubana in this case? No be everything we go dey call Cubana up and down o
DeleteKing, I dnt blv these two doesn’t have a thing together
DeleteEven if she dated Baba Ijesha it gives him no right to abuse her foster child.
DeletePrincess is an adult who can have relations with any man she chooses. However Baba Ijesha does not have a right to sexually touch/abuse any child.
If he likes he can sleep with all the women in yorubahood, dats on them. But he must not even dream of being near any of their kids or any kid sef in any inappropriate form.
B&R thank you so much. Most people are excusing the behaviour that they dated and Princess is a scorned ex. Please, what most are saying is, it's okay for step and foster fathers to abuse the children they meet in any relationship. Do you people sincerely think molesting a minor is the bonus a man should get for dating/marrying anyone with a biological or foster child? I've been so disgusted and embarrassed by this case because this is no longer about Baba Ijesha but millions of paedophiles and rape apologists we have in Nigeria. I shudder to think what any minor in care of those people have gone through or will still go through. The saddest part is even the rape apologists are mostly women and if we believe statistics one in 3 women will suffer rape/molestation or harassment in their lifetime, meaning half of this women have probably been raped or molested. So because you have experienced something and you think you are okay after the ugly episode should every other woman experience it also and you can't even pity minors? It behooves me because this isn't even about education because most people have some form of basic education and are still supporting this dastardly act. Princess may have set it up but we all saw the video and no one forced baba Ijesha to kiss that girl or fondled her breast. People please repent if you think Baba Ijesha did a normal thing. Only in Nigeria will the victim be made the villain.
DeleteB&R and anon 03:20, thank you for speaking my mind and saving me the trouble. I've written off certain visitors of this blog in terms of cerebral sagacity and conscience so it is a relief to see that child abise is not a joke to everyone.
DeleteI've fought a lot of people cos this case. A sane parent would carry placard against ijesha and his cohorts. Even if she's 17 years.......she's a minor. Imagine what kids are going through living with aunties, sisters, in-laws and all. If a grandma like iya rainbow can say what she said......shior
DeleteB&R and anonymous 03:20, God bless you. Sometimes I wonder how some people reason.
DeleteThat's irrelevant to the case. It's no offence to decline a relationship.
ReplyDeleteHe is under trial for molesting a CHILD.
Thank you! We don't even care if they were lovers. Our concern is the teenager that was molested. Princess is an adult.
DeleteUnfortunately she has to mention this because of those trying to twist and change the narrative in favor of Baba Ijesha.
DeleteAbi o!We don't care
DeleteI feel she needed to clear the air about their relationship because people are insinuating that she's in love with baba ijesha.
ReplyDeleteSo far she mentioned 'woo' and later invited him to her house meaning they were friends.
DeleteAll the while he was going to her house,what was he going there for ?
21:05 When people come to your house, what do they go there for?
DeletePenetration; with what? 😮😮😮😮
ReplyDeleteAnd bail, for what?😮😮😮
The woman wey dey tell her husband those she rejected, will she tell him those she accepted?
ReplyDeleteOkwu oo...I na achokwa okwu 😰😰😰😰😰😰😰
🙄🙄🙄🙄🤮
ReplyDeleteThese people don't have self respect.To me anything work ends at working place.
ReplyDeleteShe refused, then why did she allow him coming to her house?
There is difference between colleagues and friends.
Learn to draw the boundary otherwise you loose your respect.
Please read again, they later became close doing skit together and this happens sometimes that one becomes close to one's admirer without without dating each other.
DeleteSo none of your colleagues or fellow students have been to your house to visit? Soon you would say they are down reviewing you at work despite your two masters degrees. You don't know the importance of networking and informal relationships.
DeleteIf they work together he should be able to come to her house. I follow Toke and Mercy on snapchat and their house is always full of people working, Toke especially. All her makeup and glam squad, camera crew etc even celebs come to her house for skits and all. Its all a working relationship
DeleteEnter your reply...@ anon: 04:15
DeleteYou called it working relationship .
Their own could be romantic/working relationship cos Baba Ijesha wanted a relationship.
Whether Princess and baba Ijesha dated or are still dating is another kettle of fish altogether. In fact, wouldn't that even be a good reason for him to avoid that child totally no matter how "dirty" he was? Instead, he was toasting "mummy" and "touching" daughter. Yeye human being.
ReplyDelete👌👌
DeleteExactly, he should've avoided touching that child.
DeleteThe way I avoid this kind of mess is to give you a slap that will reboot your brain when you don't respect boundaries.
ReplyDeleteThe mistake she made was opening her door for him.
I no even see how this one con take concern me,abeg I move 🚶🚶🚶
ReplyDeleteU invested in his education and he visited u at home to pay in 'kind'. Hahahahaa...did I just write that? Okay, bye👩🦯👩🦯👩🦯👩🦯
ReplyDeleteHa! Na wa oh! Even if they dated, is that a reason for Ijesha to molest her daughter? So anyone that visits you at home is allowed to commit a crime in your house because you open door for them abi?
DeleteAnd so what if she dated or is dating baba Ijesha? Shes an adult and can date whoever she wants. I dont understand why people always leave the main matter and focus on irrelevant things.
ReplyDeleteWahala
ReplyDeleteHow exactly is this relevant to the case? Ever wondered what court proceedings look like in Nigeria?
ReplyDeleteWhere can we find a truth-o-meter, to confirm Princess truly said NO !
ReplyDeletePrincess you, like you, as in you, like you, said no, with your full chest how ?
Abegii make l join SDK roll eye make E for no loooossss !🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
This was the vision, the woman that invented Oturugbeke ! saw.
Princess mi o like E oooo !
Please let's try to give our lives to Christ. Nothing on Earth is worth the torment of hell. Do you know Jesus?
ReplyDeleteDo you know him?
Delete@celebrant 0:15 , u are so so funnny 🤩🤩🤩🤩@ mi o like e o 🤩😀🤩😀🤩😀🤩😀
DeleteAll these preamble very unnecessary. Call the so called minor as a witness and cross examine her. Case closed
ReplyDeleteExactly, she should have come out plain and said they were friends nothing is wrong with that.
ReplyDeleteThan all these 'cut and join' stories.
The main concern is the girl Involved.
