Baba Ijesha Jailed 16 Years – A Well Deserved Sentence or Not?

Baba Ijesha Jailed 16 Years – A Well Deserved Sentence or Not?

Baba Ijesha jailed for 16 years. The same reason why R. Kelly will spend at least 30 years in prison.

I hope that other guys learn from this. Sexual Assault of all kind is a crime and will always land you in prison.

Justice Oluwatoyin Taiwo of the Ikeja Domestic Violence and Sexual Offences Court on Thursday sentenced a Nollywood actorOlanrewaju Omiyinka, aka Baba Ijesha, to 16 years imprisonment.

Baba Ijesha is facing six counts of child defilement that include indecent treatment of a child, sexual assault, attempted sexual assault by penetration and sexual assault by penetration.

The Lagos State Directorate of Public Prosecutions, which proffered the charges against the actor, argued that the offences contravene Section 135, 137, 261, 202, 262 and 263 of the Lagos State Criminal Law 2015, which stipulates life imprisonment for offenders.

Baba Ijesha pleaded not guilty to all the counts. However, a Closed-Circuit Television video recording detailing his relationship with the victim said to be a minor was played in court.

 

Delivering the judgement, Justice Taiwo said that the prosecution failed to prove beyond reasonable doubt that the defendant is guilty of all the charges against him.

However, she found the defendant guilty of two of the six counts against him.

The defendant was arraigned on June 24, 2021. During the trial, six prosecution witnesses testified against him.

I believe everyone here is aware of this case. Last last, justice is served.

But R.Kelly was sentenced 30yrs for same offense, while Baba Ijesha is getting 16yrs only. WHY?

What’s your thoughts on this guys!
