An Ikeja Special Offences Court in Lagos State has arraigned Nollywood actor, Olanrewaju James Omiyinka for Thursday, June 24, 2021 over allegations of sexual assault of a minor.
Recall that the actor was arraigned on June 16 at a Magistrates’ Court in Yaba, Lagos State and charged for indecent treatment of a child, defilement of a child, sexual assault by penetration, attempted sexual assault by penetration and sexual assault.
However, Baba Ijesha was denied bail after pleading not guilty before the Court stating the reason for the denial as “the matter now beyond its jurisdiction”, and that the case had been filed before the High Court.
But, according to a judge’s causelist seen by the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), Baba Ijesha is to stand trial before Justice Oluwatoyin Taiwo on June 24.
