There is at least one other strong voice speaking in defence of the embattled actor Olanrewaju Omiyinka (Baba Ijesa) who is currently being detained in connection with the molestation of a 14 year old girl.
The new bastion of support is no other than Actress Bukky Black, who also reigned for quite some time on television screens.
James Omiyinka alias Baba Ijesha is being held at the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID) Panti pending legal advice from the Director of Public Prosecution (DPP), following allegations that the actor molested the 14-year-old girl seven years ago and recently.
While some of Ijesa’s colleagues in the movie industry have been dragging him since the case started, Bukky Black believes Ijesha is not guilty of the said crime.
According to her ‘the Baba Ijesha’ she knows is not capable of doing such as he has always been shy around women. The veteran Actress who spoke in Yoruba also placed a curse on people who kick others when they are down.
She said that Omiyinka who is being accused of a crime he committed 7 years ago without evidence, was set up 7 years later because he got popular in the movie industry.
She also slammed her colleague in the movie industry, Iyabo Ojo for going to the police station to demand that Ijesa shouldn’t be released.
The actress further said she wants people to look for a solution to the issue on ground and that she doesn’t care if she was insulted for airing her opinion.
Many others who have been afraid of backlash may now find some courage and voice their support for their embattled colleague.
