and the suspect could not be detained indefinitely without trial.

into the recent allegation against Omiyinka revealed that he did not defile the
victim, adding that when she was questioned, the victim confirmed the same.
“We are here at Panti, and he still here.
They are not bailing Baba Ijesha. We are here and we have sorted it out,” the
actress said in a video of the protest.
In the video, Princess was also seen
crying. However, her colleagues and family members persuaded her to stop
crying.
Meanwhile, a video had
