‘Ask their age before taking pictures with them’ — Baba Ijesha taunts critics of sexual assault case


A now-viral video has captured Olanrewaju Omiyinka, the Nigerian actor better known as Baba Ijesha, taking aim at his critics with a new slogan: “Are you an adult?”

 

In the clip, Baba Ijesha is surrounded by fans eager to take photos with him. As they crowd around, he asks whether anyone present is over 18, then offers advice to the public to be mindful of age before agreeing to take pictures with anyone.

 

“Are you an adult? If you’re over 18, you’re permitted to take a picture with me,” he said, after which the fans with him burst into laughter.

 

“When they come closer to you, they want to take a picture or greet you, ask them if they are an adult first.”

 


Baba Ijesha’s reemergence comes months after his release from prison. He completed his sentence in November 2025, having been convicted on charges that included indecent treatment of a child and sexual assault.

 

In July 2022, a Lagos high court sentenced a 16-year sentence, though the terms ran concurrently, resulting in about five years behind bars.

 

Throughout his imprisonment, the actor maintained his innocence. In April 2024, he claimed he had been set up and was merely “acting according to a script” provided by a colleague.

 

He later released a song titled ‘Eniwaye Daran,’ detailing the events that led to his arrest. He alleged that comedian Princess had lured him to her home under the guise of a meal and a film role, only to exploit his fame in what he called a calculated scheme.

 

Last week, Baba Ijesha announced the arrival of his child with his wife, Abiodun Tokunbo.
