July 15, (THEWILL) – Comedienne, Damilola Adekoya, also known as Princess, is excited that Olanrewaju James Omiyinka, aka Baba Ijesha, the man that sexually assaulted her foster daughter, has been sentenced to jail.
Baba Ijesha was arraigned on June 24, 2021, on a six-count charge of indecent treatment of a child, sexual assault, attempted sexual assault by penetration, and sexual assault by penetration.
On Thursday, the Ikeja special offences court in Lagos sentenced him to 16 years in prison after his conviction.
Oluwatoyin Taiwo, of the Special Offences Court presiding over the case, convicted the actor of indecent treatment of a child, sexual assault, and attempted sexual assault in a two-hour judgement.
Taiwo, however, discharged and acquitted him of count one and count six, which were: sexual assault by penetration and attempted sexual assault by penetration.
A few hours after the judgement, Princess took to social media and said the judgement was a win for other victims allegedly raped by Baba Ijesha.
“This judgement is for the other survivors of Baba Ijesha, I have promised not to mention their names.”
The actress also said she initially lost faith in the judiciary until the court’s judgement.
She also accused Hakeem Odumosu, the former Lagos Police Commissioner and Yomi Fabiyi, of allegedly trying to cover up the matter.
She went on to rain curses on Fabiyi, describing him as a “rape apologist.”
The actress also cursed Idowu Philips, the actress better known as Iya Rainbow and Odumosu, adding that they were among those who brought sadness to her life.
Princess claimed Odumosu threatened her life on several occasions in a bid to make her abandon the case.
“Idowu Philips I’m calling you out. Do you even know how many people this guy molested? They were in court. Some of those victims. I’ve lost all hope, one of them was almost suicidal. You think coming online and bullying people ends there?
“No, it doesn’t. It doesn’t end there. These are survivors molested by rapists and you people cover up for them. Yomi Fabiyi, you disgraced the survivors in the presence of all the people.
“That is the judgement of the court, the judgement of God has already started. All of you will never know peace”, she stated.
