“I was acting a script” – Baba Ijesha claims

In his appeal at the Appellate court, the Yoruba actor claimed that he was set up to take the fall and was only acting script, which Princess called him to come and act.

Baba Ijesha made this claim through his legal counsel, Kayode Olabiran, on Tuesday, April 23, 2024.

He said:

“The Appellant was set up. The Appellant is an actor. He acted in a script that he was invited to act by his colleague (PW1), Damilola Adekoya.”

However, the director of public prosecution, Dr Babajide Martins, in his response to the claims, urged the court of appeal to dismiss Baba Ijesa’s claims because they lack merit, which is also a misconception.
