In 2021, comedian Damilola Adekoya, popularly known as Princess, shocked the public by accusing veteran actor Olanrewaju Omiyinka, aka Baba Ijesha, of sexually assaulting her 14-year-old foster daughter.

Nollywood actor Baba Ijesha has made startling revelations in his first interview since his release from prison, claiming actress Iyabo Ojo once trusted him with her children.

The embattled comedian, who recently regained freedom after serving a prison sentence, vehemently denied allegations of being a pedophile during a candid conversation on actress Biola Adebayo’s “Talk to B” podcast.

The controversy dates back to 2021 when Princess publicly accused Baba Ijesha of molesting her teenage foster daughter—a case that led to his conviction by a Lagos State High Court in 2022. After completing his sentence in November 2025, the actor has now broken his silence.

During the emotional interview, Baba Ijesha insisted he had never harmed any child and alleged that Princess orchestrated the viral video as a setup. He expressed deep disappointment, stating, *”Princess betrayed everyone close to her.”*

In a surprising twist, he revealed, *”Iyabo Ojo once entrusted her children, Priscilla and Festus, to my care when they were younger. Despite everything, she remains my product, and I won’t speak ill of her.”*

This revelation comes after Iyabo Ojo fiercely supported Princess during the legal battle, publicly vowing to ensure Baba Ijesha faced justice.
