In order to obtain evidence against Baba Ijesha, Princess re-enacted the incident by placing CCTV cameras at strategic positions in her house and then exiting her house, leaving only Baba Ijesha with her daughter and as soon on the video which was said to have been allegedly cut short and released by the police without Princess’s permission, Baba Ijesha was seen once again harassing the young girl.
