Prison is where prayers are answered most — Baba Ijesha

Convicted Nollywood actor Olanrewaju Omiyinka, popularly known as Baba Ijesha, has described prison as a place where prayers are answered most.

The actor made the remarks in a recent interview while reflecting on his time in a correctional facility.

According to him, many inmates pray intensely and some link their spiritual appeals to unexplained deaths outside the prison walls.

“Do you know prison is where prayer answer most?” he said.

Baba Ijesha claimed that some inmates go to extreme lengths in their prayers, and attributed many sudden deaths to the power of such prayers rather than physical means.

He also urged leaders and people in positions of authority to exercise caution and consideration when dealing with others, citing the spiritual atmosphere he said exists in prison.

The comments come after the actor completed his prison sentence following a conviction for sexual offences.
