Some commenters argued that the offence for which Baba Ijesha was arrested and imprisoned was serious and should not be downplayed. They noted that individuals convicted of such offences are often ostracised by society because of the gravity of their actions.

One lady in the comment section jokingly remarked that Regina Chukwu's statement was incomplete, suggesting she was trying to benefit from the attention generated by the post.

Others maintained that people who were criticising the actor had every right to do so, arguing that their reactions stemmed from genuine concern rather than malice.
