Nigerian comedian Damilola Adekola, popularly known as Princess, has issued a strong public warning following the release of Nollywood actor Olanrewaju Omiyinka, better known as Baba Ijesha, from prison. The actor, who was convicted for assaulting minors, regained his freedom on Friday, November 14, 2025, after serving part of his 16-year sentence.
Princess's Strong Warning to the Public
In an emotional video posted on her Instagram page, Princess addressed Baba Ijesha's release with serious concerns for public safety. She specifically warned landlords, schools, and women about the potential dangers posed by the actor's return to society.
The comedian revealed disturbing details about the case, stating that Baba Ijesha violated not only her foster daughter but twelve other victims as well. She emphasized that areas where the actor has previously lived or might reside in the future could be unsafe for minors and vulnerable women considering working with him.
Princess expressed her firm belief that Baba Ijesha should have remained in prison for life, questioning why he didn't complete his full 16-year sentence. She identified several Lagos locations where the actor had previously resided, including:
- Lagos Island
- Mafolukun
- Sabo
- Oworo
She urged residents in these areas to remain vigilant and protect their children from potential harm.
Clash with Yomi Fabiyi Intensifies
Princess didn't hold back in her criticism of fellow actor Yomi Fabiyi, whom she accused of chasing clout and lacking purpose in life. Her remarks highlighted the ongoing tension between the two figures who have taken opposing sides in the controversial case.
The comedian made serious allegations against Fabiyi, suggesting that his support for Baba Ijesha might stem from his own previous accusations of violating people. She claimed this background explained why Fabiyi had worked so diligently to undermine Baba Ijesha's sentence.
Princess reinforced her position by describing Baba Ijesha as a self-confessed violator of minors and directed her followers to evidence she had pinned on her Instagram profile for verification.
Public Reaction and Social Media Response
The release of Princess's video sparked immediate reactions from fans and social media users, with many expressing strong opinions about Baba Ijesha's return to society.
One user, @temmiloluwa247, commented: "If he do nonsense again he go go back. We must protect our children by fire by force." This sentiment reflected the determination of many Nigerians to ensure children's safety above all else.
Another user, @tayofatodu, expressed hope that "he's learnt his lesson," suggesting some willingness to give the actor a second chance at rehabilitation.
However, not all responses supported Princess's position. User @mcdemocrazy appealed for mercy, stating: "Please princess let him be for Christ sake. He has lost a lot and learned his lesson. But will it have your joy the he die there and never made up? For him to come out after many years it's only mean one thing that God still shows love In respect of who we are. Please go and rest."
The case continues to generate mixed reactions among Nigerians, reflecting the complex nature of justice, rehabilitation, and public safety concerns.
This development marks the latest chapter in a case that has gripped the Nigerian entertainment industry since Baba Ijesha's initial conviction for molesting Princess's 14-year-old foster daughter. The actor's release after serving only part of his sentence raises new questions about Nigeria's justice system and the protection of vulnerable citizens.
