Nollywood actor, Olanrewaju Omiyinka, popularly known as Baba Ijesha, has been released from prison after spending more than three years behind bars over alleged sexual assault.

The actor regained his freedom on Friday, November 14, 2025, following a decision of the Court of Appeal, which cleared him of the offences for which he was convicted.

Announcing his release, fellow actor Yomi Fabiyi said in a post on Instagram that Baba Ijesha had been “officially freed” after the appellate court overturned the earlier judgment.

Fabiyi, in a post on his social media space, said, “You are now officially FREE AND OUT. Baba Ijesha is not just back but BETTER.

“I am also happy you were cleared by the APPEAL COURT of ever having sex/defile any child/minor. The 7-year-old story is a charade. We live in a terrible world, where sentiments and wickedness rise above the rule of law and truth.

“Let it be on record that:

“1. Those that SET THE TRAP engaged in age falsification(because there was no single proof till date anywhere, not even in court that said victim was 14yrs). To me, they only weaponised abuse on child/minor to destroy a weak target and achieve vendetta.

“2. Damola Adekola(Princess Comedian ally/neighbor and Security of the house with alias Okele who sexually abused this girl since 2020 are still out there. Damola Adekola, who practically had sex, confirmed the girl was his girlfriend and was asked to walk free despite initially being arrested alongside Baba Ijesha. Make it make sense: same case, same victim, same investigation.

“3. Princess Comedian groomed the girl(minor) for sexual activities. This is coupled with negligence because sperm was found on the girl days after Baba Ijesha was arrested, and it is not for Baba Ijesha. Test conformed she recently lost her virginity then.

“4. Princess Comedian and her co-travellers engaged in CHILD PORNOGRAPHY by deliberately installing cameras on the same day Baba Ijesha was invited to act. She recorded how her foster daughter was sexually abused(THAT IS IF THE GIRL IS TRULY 14YRS).

“5. Princess Comedian subjected the girl to re-truama. She practically wants the girl to suffer PTSD just because she wants to gather evidence(THAT IS IF THE GIRL IS TRULY 14YRS). She abused the rights of the girl because she relied on her for food, shelter, and guidance.

“6. Etc

“We, as a Human Rights Organization, never and will never condone or support any form of sexual abuse, let alone on children or minors. We will continue to fight against selective justice, abuse the fundamental human rights of any persons, and fight against organised crime like in the case of Baba Ijesha.

“Prerequisites for Princess Comedian actions are errored. It has no propensity in law. Justice on two left.”

American rapper, Cardi B has announced the birth of her new born baby with her boyfriend and Footballer, Steffon Diggs.

The announcement came amid ongoing divorce case between Cardi B and her ex-husband, Offset.

Recall that she shares three kids with Offset.

Announcing the baby’s arrival on her Instagram page on Friday, the rapper wrote; “Starting over is never easy but it’s been so worth it! I brought a new album to the world! A new baby into my world, and one more reason to be the best version of me, one more reason to love me more than anything else or anyone else so I can continue giving my babies the love and life they deserve”.

Recall that the singer filed for divorce from Offset in August 2024, citing ‘irreconcilable differences’ between them.

In February 2025, Offset requested joint custody of their 3 children, and wanted Cardi B’s home to be their primary residence.

In May 2025, Offset in an updated response also requested spousal support from the rapper as part of divorce settlement.
