Add Baba Ijesha To S*x Offender Register – Princess Tells Lagos Govt
Damilola Adekoya, the Nigerian comedienne and actress, who is popularly known as Princess, has responded to the release of actor Olanrewaju Omiyinka, aka Baba Ijesha, calling on the Lagos State government and the Department of Justice to ensure his name is added to the s*x offender register.
Princess made the appeal during a live Instagram session on Saturday, November 15, 2025.
She said, “I want to urge Lagos State Government, the Department of Justice, to please publish his name in the s*x offenders register,” adding that she would be waiting for an update on the matter.
Addressing claims that Baba Ijesha was pardoned, Princess clarified that the actor was released after serving his full prison term.
She stated, “No matter how much it hurt me, I have not hoarded any information; Baba Ijesha is now a convict… nobody freed him.”
She expressed relief that schools, hostels, landlords, and the public are now aware of his crimes.
Before the live stream, Princess posted a video in which she appeared as a caricature of herself, raising awareness on child abuse.
In the video, she said, “Hi, my name is Princess, and I believe that children should be loved, protected, and provided for. If you know any child who has been abused mentally, physically, or s*xually, please DM me at Princess Damilola Foundation on Instagram. Thank you, we need to look out for ourselves.”
Baba Ijesha was reportedly released from prison following a Court of Appeal judgment that overturned his conviction for the s*xual assault of a minor.
News of his release was first shared on social media by actor Yomi Fabiyi on Friday, who posted six points on the case, captioning it: “You are now officially FREE AND OUT. Baba Ijesha is not just back but BETTER.”
An unverified viral video on Saturday showed Baba Ijesha sitting in a vehicle shortly after his release, expressing relief and saying he needed rest.
Baba Ijesha was accused by Princess of s*xually abusing her 14-year-old foster daughter.
Footage from the CCTV she reportedly installed captured him allegedly touching and fondling the minor.
In July 2022, a Lagos court sentenced him to 16 years in prison after finding him guilty on multiple counts, including indecent treatment of a child and s*xual assault.
Attempts to reach Baba Ijesha for comment were unsuccessful at the time of filing this report. Efforts to also contact Fabiyi to reach Baba Ijesha did not yield results, while calls and messages to Princess went unanswered, as her phone was switched off.
The Lagos State Police Command has arrested and detained social media influencer Habeeb Hamzat, popularly known as Peller, following a viral video that showed him driving recklessly and crashing his vehicle during a live stream.
The arrest was confirmed in a statement issued on Tuesday, December 16, by the Police Public Relations Officer, SP Abimbola Adebisi. According to the police, the incident occurred on Sunday, December 14, 2025, and sparked widespread public outrage.
The command said the influencer’s conduct posed a serious threat to public safety and required immediate intervention.
“The Lagos State Police Command has arrested and detained, for further investigation, Habeeb Hamzat aka ‘PELLER’, subsequent to the viral video that surfaced online on Sunday 14th December, 2025, in which he was seen driving recklessly, leading to a dangerous road crash and serious motor accident, while the incident was being live streamed, thereby endangering his life and that of other road users,” the statement said.
The police described the act as extremely dangerous, warning that it could have resulted in fatal consequences for both the suspect and other road users.
“His action constitutes a deliberate attempt to commit suicide and endangers the lives of other innocent people,” the statement added.
The command disclosed that the case has been transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department for a thorough investigation.
“The case is currently being investigated by the State Criminal Investigation Department. The outcome of the investigation will be made public, and the suspect will be charged to the court of competent jurisdiction in accordance with the law,” the police said.
Reacting to the incident, the Commissioner of Police, Lagos State Command, CP Olohundare Jimoh, issued a strong warning to social media influencers and the general public against using online platforms to promote unlawful behavior.
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has received with deep sadness the news of the passing of former Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Ibrahim Tanko Muhammad.
Justice Tanko, 71, from Bauchi State, died on Tuesday in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. He was the Chief Justice of Nigeria from 2019 to 2022.
President Tinubu describes the late Justice Tanko as an eminent legal mind, a disciplined administrator, and a dedicated public servant who devoted most of his life to upholding justice and strengthening the judiciary.
The President notes that the deceased’s career on the Bench, which culminated in his appointment as CJN, was marked by integrity, courage, and an unwavering commitment to the rule of law.
President Tinubu says the late jurist made invaluable contributions to the development of Nigeria’s legal system, acknowledging that his legacy will remain indelible, particularly among those he mentored.
The President extends his heartfelt condolences to his family, the Supreme Court of Nigeria, the Bar and Bench, and the government and people of Bauchi State.
He prays to Almighty Allah for the repose of his soul.

Actress Doris Ogala doubles down on claims against Pastor Chris Okafor, insists on compensation or marriage
Actress Doris Ogala has intensified her allegations against Pastor Chris Okafor, insisting she was in a long-term relationship with him from 2017 and was promised marriage.
Speaking emotionally, Doris claimed she supported the pastor privately, bought gifts for his children, and stayed loyal for years, only to be abandoned when he decided to marry someone else.
She accused those online, including Dee One, of taking money to do “damage control,” stressing that her demands are legal, not blackmail. According to her, she is seeking compensation for emotional damage, career loss, and broken promises, adding that her lawyer is already preparing formal demands.
Doris also admitted to phone-based intimacy during her troubled marriage but denied any physical affair at the time. She maintained she has evidence to back her claims and alleged she is not the only woman Pastor Chris promised marriage.
“I’m not backing down. This is my right,” she said, warning that she is ready to speak fully if pushed further.
