Baba Ijesha listed as a sex offender by Lagos State government
The Lagos State government has listed Nollywood actor Olanrewaju Omiyinka popularly known as Baba Ijesha as a sex offender.
Baba Ijesha was recently sentenced to 16 years in prison by a court in Lagos State for sexually assaulting a minor.
According to Punch, the Lagos State Domestic and Sexual Violence Agency enlisted the disgraced actor into its register of sexual offenders in the state.
Justice Oluwatoyin Taiwo of the Ikeja Domestic Violence and Sexual Offences Court on Thursday, July 14, 2022, sentenced the disgraced actor to prison.
Delivering the judgement, Justice Taiwo said that the prosecution failed to prove beyond reasonable doubt that the defendant is guilty of all the charges against him.
However, she found the defendant guilty of two of the six counts against him.
Baba Ijesha was detained on April 22, 2021, after the Lagos State Police Command announced his arrest for allegedly sexually assaulting a 14-year-old girl in the care of Nigerian comedian, Princess.
