Nollywood actor and filmmaker, Yomi Fabiyi has become a subject of ridicule online hours after his colleague, Baba Ijesha was sentenced.
Earlier that after over one year of his arrest and prosecution, an Ikeja Special Offences Court had convicted the embattled Nollywood actor, Olanrewaju James, alias Baba Ijesha, of sexually assaulting a 14-year-old minor.
Justice Oluwatoyin Taiwo, in a two-hour judgement on Thursday, convicted Baba Ijesha of indecent treatment of a child, sexual assault and attempted sexual assault.
Taiwo, however, discharged and acquitted him of counts one and count six, which were: sexual assault by penetration and attempted sexual assault by penetration.
He was thereby sentenced to 16 years imprisonment.
Taking to social media, Nigerians dragged Yomi Fabiyi for supporting a rapist.
Many avowed that the actor should be sentenced too for aiding a rapist.
