She stated this after the police on Monday, granted the actor bail.
Princess spoke on her Instagram page a few hours after the news of Baba Ijesha being granted bail broke, saying she would win the case.
The comedienne has also created and sharing different hashtags on rape and child molestation.
Some of the hashtags read: #Goddoesnotsleep #Godloveschildren #saynotochilddefilement

“I will win not immediately but definitely,” she posted.
FirstNews reported that Baba Ijesha had been granted bail.
Counsel to the actor, Adesina Ogunlana, while confirming his release said: “He has been granted bail. We are working to perfect the bail. He was granted bail on health grounds. He has not been released. He will be released after his bail conditions have been perfected.”
Some of the conditions given for his bail include: two reliable sureties – one of them must be a level-10 officer and the second, a direct blood relation, with N500,000 bail bond in like sum.
Ogunlana had in a letter last Friday, addressed to the Commissioner of Police seeking Baba Ijesha’s bail, said that his client was looking abnormally weak and lean.
The letter was dated, May 14, 2021, and titled ‘Re: Olanrewaju James Omiyinka application for immediate grant of bail’.
The letter partly read, “We are aware that a piece of legal advice on our client’s matter has been issued about two weeks ago, disclosing prospective charges of bailable character.
“From all indications, the investigation has been concluded in his matter and it is inconceivable that the issuance of legal advice will now be a basis for the denial of bail as you have been widely reported in the press to have claimed.
“We submit that the continuous detention of Mr Olanrewaju James Omiyinka at your SCID Panti Yaba facility, for about thirty days now, in our respectful view, is in gross breach of his fundamental human rights as cognisable under the 1999 constitution the grand norm of the nation’s legal architecture.
“As of today when I met with Omiyinka in the company of his thespian colleague and ready surety, Mr Yomi Fabiyi, he appeared traumatised, emaciated, and walked with a limp in his right leg. May I assure you, sir, that Mr Omiyinka is not a flight risk and he is prepared to face trial.”
