She relived the pain that fueled it. She admitted:<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cI really didn\u2019t control my emotions then because I was outraged by what happened.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cAnd I think it\u2019s because I was also coming from that part, where I had gone through whatever she went through multiple times than hers and I just felt like enough is enough.

But instead of everyone rallying behind the victim, Iyabo said what shocked her most was the victim-blaming and gaslighting, especially from adults. She continued:<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cI was taken aback when I saw adults manipulating the story and even coming for the child and Princess, and that made me know we have a long way to go in Nigeria.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Even worse, the fight for justice came at a personal cost. The actress was blacklisted by the Theatre Arts and Motion Pictures Practitioners Association of Nigeria (TAMPAN), which publicly warned members against working with her and fellow actress Nkechi Blessing, both of whom had taken strong stances against Baba Ijesha.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">But to Iyabo, silence or neutrality wasn\u2019t an option, especially not when children were involved. Iyabo Ojo said:<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cYou\u2019ll 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.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cWe cannot be preaching and doing the same bad thing that we\u2019re telling people that is wrong, so for me it gets to me more when a known person does something wrong.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Throughout the ordeal, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/entertainment\/2025\/06\/29\/15-celebrity-before-after-transformation-that-shocked-us-in-a-good-way\/\">Iyabo Ojo<\/a> stood firmly beside Princess, attending court hearings, advocating on social media, and refusing to be bullied into silence.
