Moment Baba Ijesha Collapsed On Court Staircase After Judge Sentenced Him To 16 Years In Prison

Nollywood actor Olanrewaju Omiyinka, popularly called Baba Ijesha, suddenly collapsed on Thursday after the court sentenced him to 16 years in prison for sexual assault.

In the video shared online, Baba Ijesha was seen being whisked away by security personnel of the correctional service.

While he was walking along the staircase, the actor suddenly fell but was assisted by some security officers who helped him to get back on his feet.

Naija News had earlier reported that the court convicted Baba Ijesha for sexually assaulting a 14-year-old minor in the custody of comedienne Damilola Adekoya, popularly known as Princess.

Recall that the actor was arrested after Princess reported him to the police, accusing him of sexually assaulting the teenager.

Baba Ijesha confessed to the allegations levelled against him and was also captured by a CCTV camera in the Princess’ house.

The actor on Thursday was found guilty of some charges against him.

Justice Oluwatoyin Taiwo, in a two-hour judgment, convicted Baba Ijesha of indecent treatment of a child, sexual assault, and attempted sexual assault.

The court judge, however, discharged and acquitted the actor of counts one and six, which were: sexual assault by penetration and attempted sexual assault by penetration.
