Embattled Yoruba actor, James Omiyinka, more popularly known as Baba Ijesha, who is currently enmeshed in an alleged rape and child molestation scanda
Embattled Yoruba actor, James Omiyinka, more popularly known as Baba Ijesha, who is currently enmeshed in an alleged rape and child molestation scandal, is gradually bouncing back.
The actor who was arrested on April 22 by the Lagos State Police Command for allegedly sexually assaulting a 14-year-old foster daughter of a popular comedian, Princess, has gone back to making movies.
The actor appears to have forged ahead after his N2 million bail application was granted.
Baba Ijesha recently revealed that he has returned to his first love, acting, and is currently partaking in a movie that is being shot in Ile-Ife, Osun State.
Meanwhile, his court case which was supposed to resume today August 11 at 9am has been adjourned to September 27th as the Lagos State Judiciary Special Offences Court had remained empty as the courts are said to be on vacation until next month.
Baba Ijesha is facing a six-count charge of sexual assault by penetration, indecent treatment of a child, and sexual assault, which contravenes sections 259, 135, and 261 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State 2011, as well as 135, 263, and 262 Criminal Law of Lagos State 2015.
He had however, employed the services of two senior advocates of Nigeria – Dada Awosika and Babatunde Ogala, and other lawyers to defend him in court in the last sittings.
