Disgraced Nigerian actor, James Olanrewaju aka Baba Ijesha, will be charged to court, and he might be likely to get life imprisonment.
It was recommended he should be charged under the Criminal Law of Lagos State, 2015. “James is to be tried under section 135 – indecent treatment of a child- punishable by seven years imprisonment; section 137 – defilement of a child – punishable by life imprisonment; section 261- segxwal assault by penetration – punishable by life imprisonment; section 262- attempted segxwal assault by penetration – punishable by 14 years imprisonment and section 263 – segxwal assault- punishable by three years imprisonment.
While the state would ensure James’ rights as enshrined in the constitution are upheld, the Ministry of Justice would not relent in its efforts at ensuring that whoever segxwally abuses any resident of Lagos is speedily brought to book.”
His case was transferred to the DPP on April 30.
