Olumuyiwa Adejobi, spokesperson for the Lagos police command on Thursday said the alleged crime involving the actor is a “very sensitive” matter and as such would be treated in accordance with the law.
Olarewaju Omiyinka aka Baba Ijesha, enmeshed in an alleged rape mess would be prosecuted once the striking judiciary workers resume.
Mr Adejobi, in an interview with City People TV on Thursday said the actor would soon be arraigned.
“He has a case to answer based on the DPP report and he is going to be prosecuted accordingly when the courts resume, he is going to be charged to court and he will face his charges,” he said.
Baba Ijesha is currently under investigation and in police custody in Panti for more than one month. He was arrested for allegedly segxwally assaulting a 14-year-old girl.
Mr Adejobi said social media users have been “attacking” the police for keeping the embattled actor “unnecessarily” despite him being granted bail.
He, however, said the police is not responsible for holding the actor, “the offence Baba Ijesha committed is not a bailable offence based on the report from DPP, so, police cannot give him administrative bail, except the court does so.”
He explained that Baba Ijesha is still in their custody because he was yet to perfect his bail conditions.
“When he got to Panti, granted him bail, the case is still on, but he has not met his bail conditions. And if you are on bail and you have not met your bail conditions, I think that is where the problem is, people just are just attacking the police, that we are keeping Baba Ijesha unnecessarily.”
