Baba Ijesha Granted N500K Bail On Health Grounds by Nobody: 6:50pm On May 17, 2021
Olanrewaju James, a Yoruba actor popularly known as Baba Ijesha who is standing trial for alleged sexual asault, has been granted bail on health grounds.

Baba Ijesha had been in custody at the State CID, Panti, for sexually assaulting a 14-year-old-girl in the home of comedienne Adekola Adekanya, popularly called ‘Princess.’

Due to the industrial strike by the Judicial Staff Union of Nigeria (JUSUN), courts have been shut and cases adjourned.

The release of Baba Ijesha on Monday afternoon came as a result of magistrates going around police stations across Lagos State, listening to cases and giving hearing to those arrested.

Baba Ijesha’s case was the subject of national discourse and raised the topic of paedophilia and rape in Nigeria.

A lawyer told FIJ that Baba Ijesha’s release on health grounds sounded more like an easy way out. The case had been forwarded by the Domestic and Sexual Violence Response Team (DSVRT) to the Directorate of Public Prosecutions (DPP) for legal advice.

There has however been skepticism on how the DPP handles cases of sexual assault and rape. In 2019, Don-Chima George and Rasaq Oluwasegun were arrested for gang-raping a 23-year-old lady. The DPP however failed to produce key witnesses to help in the prosecution of the case.

The Lagos State Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice, Moyosore Onigbanjo, SAN, had stated on May 4 that “the Ministry of Justice would not relent in its efforts in ensuring that whoever sexually abuses any resident of Lagos State is speedily brought to book.”

Now that he's a free man, if anything happens to him I guess iyabo ojo would be held responsible grin

If your friend is not like Yomi Fabiyi who stands with you when the whole world turns their back against you, then you don't have a friend.

P/S: This statement is not related to the crime or Baba Ijesha's recklessness. Just making a point

Good to know he's not denied his right to bail.

pretydiva:
He should be made to face the full wrath of the law. Shameless paedophile

He would surely do, but not at your backyard.

The court of law would do justice to that.

Case dismissed what a country police don cash out

Emotions don't win in the court of law, only facts do cool.

He wasn't set free, he was granted bail according to the laws of the federal Republic of Nigeria. Granting bail comes with terms and condition fah!
