Lagos Commissioner of Police, Hakeem Odumosu, on Wednesday, stated Nollywood actor Olanrewaju Omiyinka aka Baba Ijesha, who was arrested for allegedly molesting a minor, will be kept in custody till when judiciary workers resume their strike.
InsideOjodu recalls that Baba Ijesha was arrested in March after he was caught on camera attempting to defile the foster daughter of comedienne, Princess.
In a video shared online, Princess alleged that he had initially raped her foster daughter when she was seven and then also attempted to sexually assault her again recently.
But on Wednesday, Nollywood actor Yomi Fabiyi had staged a protest in front of the Lagos State Criminal Investigation Department over the detention of his colleague, which he described as “illegal.”
Addressing the Nollywood actor, the Commissioner said Baba Ijesha has been held in custody based on legal advice from the Directorate of Public Prosecutions in the state Ministry of Justice and after a prima facie case had been established against him.
He also revealed that Baba Ijesha’s continuous detention will be reviewed if the JUSUN strike continues indefinitely.
