The Lagos State Domestic and segxwal Violence Agency has confirmed that the name of Nollywood actor, Olanrewaju Omiyinka, aka Baba Ijesha, has been entered into the register of segxwal offenders in Lagos State.
The Lagos State Domestic and S*xual V!olence Agency confirmed this on Friday.
This is as the International Federation of Women Lawyers described the judgment as a welcome development.
The Executive Secretary of the agency, Titilola Vivour-Adeniyi, said, “All details of s*x convicts are immediately enrolled into the sex offenders registers once a conviction is secured.”
Justice Oluwatoyin Taiwo of the Ikeja Domestic Violence and S*xual Offences Court on Thursday sentenced Baba Ijesha to 16 years imprisonment, adding that the jail terms were to run concurrently for five years.
He had faced six counts of child defilement that include indecent treatment of a child, s*xual assault, attempted s*xual assault by penetration, and segxwal assault by penetration proffered against him by the Lagos State Directorate of Public Prosecutions.
Although the prosecution argued that the offences contravened sections 135, 137, 261, 202, 262, and 263 of the Lagos State Criminal Law 2015, which stipulates life imprisonment for offenders, Baba Ijesha pleaded not guilty to all the counts.
A Closed-Circuit Television video recording detailing his relationship with the victim said to be a minor was played in court.
But delivering the judgement, Justice Taiwo, who said that the prosecution failed to prove beyond reasonable doubt that the defendant was guilty of all the charges against him, found the defendant guilty of four of the six counts against him.
Baba Ijesha was found guilty of count two, three, four and five; for count two, he was jailed for three years; count three, five years; count four, three years, and bagged five years for count five.
The defendant was arraigned on June 24, 2021, during which six prosecution witnesses, including actress and comedienne, Princess; the 14-year-old minor, a child expert, Mrs Olabisi Ajayi-Kayode; and a medical doctor, Dr Aniekan Makanjuola, testified against him.
