A young lady, Ewatomilola Ayeni, who identified herself as a niece to embattled Nollywood actor, Olanrewaju Omiyinka, aka Baba Ijesha; has alleged that popular comedienne, Adekola Adekanya, also known as Princess tried several times to seduce the embattled actor.
While speaking with reporters at the Yaba Magistrates’ Court in Lagos State on Wednesday, after the court declined granting the bail application brought before it by Baba Ijesha, Ayeni who claimed to be the actor’s niece, said the allegations filed against him were baseless.
“My name is Ewatomilola Ayeni and the person in question is my elder brother; I am a niece to Baba Ijesha.
“If indeed Ijesha did what he was accused of indeed, his mother-in-law is here and she won’t support him if indeed he is guilty of the offence.
“Everyone is shouting, ‘defilement’ but if they know what happened seven years ago…
“Has Princess herself revealed the number of times she seduced Ijesha? Ijesha cannot fight but we will fight for him.
“There were times that Princess called Ijesha to come over to her place, that she has prepared Ofada stew, knowing full well that he has a wife, even though she is not in Nigeria.”
“You claim to be friend to somebody and you are also the enemy. Why are you a friend enemy to him?” she queried.
Ayeni further said Baba Ijesha is not a pedophile, saying, “I have lived with him all my life and he never abused me. They want to tarnish his image because of his fame.”
“The government should ensure that the innocent does not die in the place of the guilty because anyone who hears one side of the matter without hearing the other side is evil, because he (Baba Ijesha) knows nothing about this case,” she concluded
Repeated efforts by our correspondent to get the comments of Princess proved abortive as she didn’t take her calls and didn’t reply text messages sent to her lines.
