Nigerian comedian Damilola Adekola, popularly known as the “laughter merchant,” has spoken out following the release of Nollywood actor Olanrewaju Omiyinka, also called Baba Ijesha.
Baba Ijesha had previously been convicted for assaulting minors and sentenced to 16 years in prison but was released just a few hours ago.
In an Instagram video, Adekola cautioned landlords, schools, and women about the actor, highlighting that he had harmed not only her foster daughter but also twelve other victims. She stressed that any location where he has lived or may live could be unsafe for children and vulnerable women who might interact with him.
The comedian expressed that Baba Ijesha should have remained incarcerated for life and provided insight into why he seemingly did not serve the full 16-year sentence.
Adekola also criticized actor Yomi Fabiyi, accusing him of seeking attention and undermining justice. She claimed that Fabiyi had previously faced allegations of misconduct and attempted to interfere with Baba Ijesha’s sentencing.
Reiterating that Baba Ijesha is a confessed offender, Adekola directed her followers to a video pinned on her Instagram for more details. She also listed some of the areas where the actor had lived, including Lagos Island, Mafolukun, Sabo, and Oworo, warning residents to remain vigilant in case he returns to these locations.
