Nollywood actor, Omiyinka James Olanrewaju, Baba Ijesha, has made his first appearance on social media after more than 2-month break.
Since his arrest in connection to a sexual molestation allegation with a minor, he has been absent on social media.
His last post on Instagram was on April 14, a week to his arrest.
Following his release four days ago, Baba Ijesha uploaded a short video today with the caption: “A day before the incident” followed by some tears emoji.
This has generated mixed reactions among his fans and critics on social media. As at the time of gathering this report, not less than 900 users have commented on his post.
Some welcomed and prayed for him, others have also advised him to stay off social media.
Among those that congratulated and prayed for him is @dami_oluwa_dami, he said: “Congratulations in advance. I pray you win this case. We all deserve a 2nd chance.”
