Nollywood actor, Yomi Fabiyi, also the convener of human rights non-governmental organisation, Break The Silence Foundation, has raised concerns over allegations of organised crime related to a recent incident involving Princess Comedian and other individuals.
In a statement released by Fabiyi, he emphasized the importance of differentiating between civil social interactions and criminal behavior. Fabiyi stressed that flirting, as a cultural norm, is not inherently criminal but rather becomes problematic when there is evidence of deceptive practices or coercion involved. He stated that it is crucial to establish clear boundaries and standards when addressing cases involving alleged sexual misconduct.
Fabiyi expressed his concern over potential cases of malicious intent, where false accusations are made to demonize individuals and possibly manipulate the legal system for personal gain. He highlighted the need for proper evidence and adherence to legal procedures before subjecting anyone to trial or public scrutiny.
Furthermore, Fabiyi condemned the act of luring individuals into compromising situations and secretly recording their interactions, particularly when the intent is to create and distribute explicit content involving minors. He labeled such actions as child pornography and called for strict penalties for those involved in orchestrating such scenarios.
Fabiyi’s statement also touched upon the issue of extracting confessions through torture, referring to it as “trial by ordeal.” He urged authorities to uphold human rights standards and refrain from subjecting individuals, especially minors, to trauma and psychological distress.
The actor and human rights activist emphasized that human rights and the rule of law must be upheld at all times. Fabiyi’s Break The Silence Foundation has been instrumental in raising awareness about various human rights issues and advocating for justice in society.
As the allegations continue to spark public debate, Fabiyi’s call for a comprehensive investigation into the matter highlights the importance of preserving the principles of justice and fairness in the face of complex legal and social challenges.
He wrote;
Child Pornography is a form of child sexual exploitation. It can be defined as any visual depiction of sexually explicit conduct involving a minor (persons less than 18 years old). Creating, distributing, and sharing such images is unlawful and attracts many years in prison.
Ignorance is not an excuse under the law. What PRINCESS COMEDIAN and her co-travelers did is CHILD PORNOGRAPHY. Moreover, the Police deny any knowledge of the entrapment and never sanctioned such.
Why should the Nigerian Police @nigeriapoliceforce @benjaminhundeyin @lagosstategovt under the guise of prosecuting individuals culpable under THE CHILD PROTECTION LAWS ignore Princess Comedian or fail to charge her and her accomplice to court till date?
The worst part is that the victim accused the duo of Damola Adekola (a close ally to Princess) and their house security with alias Okele of having multiple sex with her after semen (Sperm) was found on her during police investigation.
If she was truly 14 years old at that time and there was a lead that someone had had sex with the girl, why was that person allowed to WALK FREE by the police and authorities? Why are all the child rights activists, media, celebrities, and Co silent about this and even had Damola Adekola removed from the trial? Same investigation, same victim oh. And Baba Ijesha, who never had sex with the girl, lured to sentence. The LAW MUST TAKE ITS FULL COURSE.
