As someone who always urged all her kids to say the truth even in the face of consequences, Princess felt a need to fight for the girl who was entrusted in her care by her parents.

She noted that it didn't make sense that people kept asking why she couldn't let the case go, saying anyone who loves kids knows that they should be cared for and protected.

The comedian added that Baba Ijesha tried everything possible so that she would keep quiet on the case and even went as far as calling on people he knew she respected and wouldn't dare go against.

Princess was surprised that instead of everyone to rise to fight Baba Ijesha on her behalf, there were people like Yomi Fabiyi cutting corners and coming up with false narratives.
