Nollywood actor Yomi Fabiyi on Wednesday led a protest against the detention of his colleague Olanrewaju Omiyinka aka Baba Ijesha who is accused of sexually assaulting a minor.
Yomi marched with other protesters from Casino Bus Stop to Panti Police Station in Lagos.
Yomi, who has been criticised by many of his colleagues for standing by Baba Ijesha, described the continuous detention of Baba Ijesha as “illegal”.
Carrying placards, they demanded that Baba Ijesha should be released from detention pending when a court would hear his case.
“Human Rights is key and no need to get emotional and change the law,” Yomi wrote in an Instagram post showing footage from the protest.
Yomi also invited fans to join him in the protest.
Baba Ijesha has been in police custody since last month.
