Argumentative
In April 2021, Princess Comedian accused Baba Ijesha of raping her adopted daughter, a minor. She claimed that Baba Ijesha had raped her when she was just 7 years old but they let it go due to lack of concrete evidence.
So she installed a surveillance camera in her apartment, at the time her daughter was 14 years old. In her statement, she claimed that she had raised Baba Ijesha, who needed help and had nothing. Back in 2021, the surveillance camera recorded Baba Ijesha sexually abusing his 14-year-old adopted daughter, whose name and picture were withheld from public diagnosis.
She took the matter to social media and sought help from the Lagos police, who immediately swung into action and arrested the perpetrator, now confirmed to be a paedophile.

A video was leaked in which Baba Ijesha admitted to the crime and begged for forgiveness. The CCTV footage was later leaked to the Nigerian newspaper, Punch Newspaper, which described the video in text form, after Punch published it, it was confirmed that he had sexually assaulted the resisting minor.
