Popular Yoruba actor Olanrewaju Omiyinka, aka Baba Ijesha, has been freed from prison.
After being detained for more than three years due to allegations of sexual assault, the actor was released on Friday, November 14, 2025.
Actor Yomi Fabiyi announced Baba Ijesha’s release on Friday night on his Instagram page, saying that he was set free following the Appeal Court’s clearance.
Fabiyi wrote: “You are now officially FREE AND OUT. Baba Ijesha is not just back but BETTER.
“I am also happy you were cleared by the APPEAL COURT of ever having sex/defile any child/minor. The 7-year-old story is a charade. We live in a terrible world, where sentiments and wickedness rise above the rule of law and truth.”
Baba Ijesha was sentenced to 16 years’ imprisonment on July 14, 2022, by the Lagos State High Court for sexually assaulting a 14-year-old girl.

Famous singer D’banj said that music mogul Don Jazzy was the one who proposed they split while reminiscing about the Mo’Hits breakup.
Recall that in 2012, Don Jazzy declared the dissolution of Mo’Hits, claiming a disagreement with D’banj.
In a recent episode of Seun Okinbaloye’s Mic On podcast, D’banj asserted that Don Jazzy was solely to blame for Mo’Hits’ breakup.
“If I were to go back in time, I wouldn’t have done anything differently regarding my relationship with Don Jazzy, especially when the idea to go our separate ways didn’t come from me. It came from Don Jazzy 100 per cent. And that’s why we have no issue.
“Jazzy gave me 100 per cent of my catalogue and maybe 10 other songs I have not released… If was a journey for me, even though he had his opinion, I knew that we needed to cement that global movement and I’m glad that even after, God still did it for us with ‘Oliver Twist’, which was the last record we released together,” he remarked.
D’banj said he doesn’t regret parting ways with Don Jazzy, stressing that their split was predestined.
He, however, admitted that he missed collaborating with Don Jazzy.
