Awarenessinfohub has gathered that in a dramatic turn of events, Nigerian actor Baba Ijesha, whose real name is Olanrewaju Omiyinka, has regained his freedom after spending over three years behind bars for alleged sexual assault.
The Appeal Court's decision to clear him of the offenses has sent shockwaves across the nation, sparking widespread reactions and calls for a re-examination of the justice system.
Baba Ijesha was initially sentenced to 16 years' imprisonment on July 14, 2022, by the Lagos State High Court for sexually assaulting a 14-year-old girl. However, he maintained his innocence throughout the ordeal, and his supporters claimed the case was a setup.
The Appeal Court's decision to overturn the earlier judgment has brought relief to Baba Ijesha's fans and supporters. The court cited lack of evidence and procedural errors as the reasons for quashing the conviction.
Fellow actor Yomi Fabiyi announced Baba Ijesha's release on Instagram, stating, "You are now officially FREE AND OUT. Baba Ijesha is not just back but BETTER". Fabiyi also alleged that the case was a frame-up, accusing a comedian, Princess Comedian, and others of setting a trap and engaging in child pornography.
The case has raised important questions about selective justice and the reliability of evidence in high-profile cases. As Nigeria's entertainment industry grapples with the aftermath of the case, many are calling for a more nuanced approach to justice, one that prioritizes fairness and due process.
Baba Ijesha's release has sparked a mix of emotions, with some celebrating his freedom and others questioning the justice system's handling of the case.
As the nation moves forward, one thing is certain - the case will have far-reaching implications for Nigeria's justice system and entertainment industry.
