Actress Iyabo Ojo has revealed the personal experiences that fueled her outspoken support for comedienne Princess during the Baba Ijesha alleged rape case.
In an episode of The Goldroom with Iyabo, as reported by GistLover, she disclosed that she had been a victim of molestation multiple times. This, she said, played a major role in how emotionally invested she became in the case.
“I really didn’t control my emotions then because I was outraged by what happened,” she stated. “I think it’s because I was also coming from that part, where I had gone through whatever she went through multiple times… and I just felt like enough is enough.”
Iyabo expressed disbelief over how some adults twisted the facts and targeted both Princess and the victim. She pointed out that this reaction reflects how much work still needs to be done in Nigeria regarding child protection and justice.
“You’ll notice when I kick, I kick when my fellow entertainers do wrong, because I feel like we are supposed to do right by our people,” she said. “We are also evangelists… we cannot be preaching and doing the same bad thing that we’re telling people is wrong.”
