Legit.ng earlier reported that an elongated CCTV footage showing Nollywood actor Baba Ijesha molesting the 14-year-old foster child of comedian Princess reemerged online, sparking widespread outrage across social media platforms.

The resurfaced video came shortly after Baba Ijesha’s viral interview with actress Biola Bayo, where he denied sexually assaulting a minor and alleged that the incident was a setup.

In the interview, he claimed Princess invited him over with a meal including pounded yam, lobster, bush meat, and egusi soup, under the pretence of featuring in a skit.

According to him, he was asked to play a younger role alongside a teenage girl, but he alleged that several people stormed the room mid-filming and attacked him despite his explanations.

Following his release from prison and continued insistence on his innocence, the elongated footage surfaced online showing Baba Ijesha alone with the minor in a room.
