Baba Ijesha had been accused of molesting a minor, who is Adekoya's foster child, seven years ago and recently.

Comedienne Damilola Adekoya, aka Princess, has, in a twist of events, released more evidence against embattled Nollywood actor, Olanrewaju Omiyinka, popularly known as Baba Ijesha in the case of sexual molestation levelled against him.

He was thereafter arrested by the Lagos state police as the investigation is ongoing.

On Wednesday, Omiyinka, popularly known as Baba Ijesha, was arraigned in a Magistrate court in Yaba, Lagos in the ongoing trial over alleged sexual assault.

The Magistrate, Peter Nwaka, however, denied him bail because the Lagos State Ministry of Justice had filed charges before a High Court.

But on Thursday, Princess took to her verified Instagram account to share a series of posts including videos and pictures with audio notes of victims alleging that Baba Ijesha is a flirt.

It was also alleged that while in police custody, he instructed some people to spread falsehood.

In the voice note shared, Baba Ijesha was heard saying, “When something happens to someone that has a name, one must tread carefully so that the matter will die down. If you keep answering her, the matter will not die down. After she said this, she cannot say another thing tomorrow. She cannot go to social media again because they have banned everything.

“You people should not fret; all of you should just keep doing publicity for me but act as if you do not know me. Share messages; I know you know how to write inspirational articles. Just say that we do not know the truth yet but Baba Ijesha will still come out by himself. That is all you need to say. Apply wisdom in all you do.”

The comedienne also shared some messages she got from a lady who identified herself as Makinwa Elizabeth. The young lady claimed she works as a secretary for Baba Ijesha’s and also the admin for Baba Ijesha WhatsApp group.

In the voice note, she claimed she and her sister were almost victims of the embattled actor.

Makinwa stated, “My name is Makinwa Elizabeth. I am Baba Ijesha’s worker; his secretary and the group admin. Seriously, as I am chatting with you, I am in tears. To be honest, at first, I was against you. To be frank with you I was against you because I thought you were trying to form some things against him. But I am disappointed. I know you are not lying. When you levelled the allegation against him, I knew you were not lying because Baba Ijesha is a flirt. But I thought what you said seven years ago was not real. We are all disappointed in the group we belong to.

“I understand your pain and I feel your pain. I have been uncomfortable ever since I watched that video. We, members of the group, went to him and asked him for the truth, but this man lied. You will be surprised about the lie that he told us.
“Please, do not be angry at me. Seriously, I know what you are saying. He has done this thing to me before; apart from harassing me, he did it to my blood sister. It has not been up to six months ago. God saved her.

“Please don’t be angry; the whole group is sorry. The lie was just too much. He told us that both of you were once together. I went to meet him and asked that ‘Oga, is this thing real?’ I know he is a flirt because we work with him and we go around with him. When we go to a movie location, he can abandon us there. He did it to me as well but it is a long story. I did not know that he could do something like that. He lied to us.”

Makinwa said ever since the allegation of sexual assault was made public, members of the groups had reached out to her to share their experience.

She said, “Those people are not telling me but because of this incident, they are now telling me as the admin. They are now recounting a lot of things in the group. Different people have been calling me to tell me what he did to them. They did not tell me before now, although we talk to him, he hardly listens because he is our boss. Even his senior colleagues have been advising him but he did not listen.”

Princess released another voice note of an unnamed lady, who claimed she was almost raped by the actor.

She said, “In this Baba Ijesha’s case, the man is the one who put himself into trouble. I remember a day we were at a movie location, and Baba Ijesha was there; I still have the picture we took together. The moment I got to the location, his eyes were fixated on me. He said he wanted to send me on an errand and I followed him to his room. If I was not a lady blessed with strong bones, I would have been telling another story. He almost raped me that day. I pushed him away as he tried to force himself on me.

“My elder siblings called me when the issue happened to ask if Baba Ijesha could do such a thing, I said, ‘yes, he can’. Please, do not support him at all. He has been doing this thing for a long time. If not that I do not want any problems for myself and I do not have the means to fight him, I would have done a video narrating my encounter. Please do not support him; he is the one that put himself in this predicament.”
