Ewatomilola Ayeni, a niece of Nollywood actor, Olanrewaju Omiyinka, popularly known as Baba Ijesha, has called on comedienne Adekola Adekanya, also known as Princess, to speak up on how she allegedly attempted o seduce the embattled actor.
Omiyinka’s niece made the demand on Wednesday when she spoke with newsmen at the Yaba Magistrates’ Court in Lagos State.
This was after the court declined granting the bail application brought before it by Omiyinka.
She said: “My name is Ewatomilola Ayeni and the person in question is my elder brother.
“I am a niece to Baba Ijesha.
“If indeed Ijesha did what he was accused of, his mother-in-law is here and she won’t support him if he is guilty of the offence.
“Everyone is shouting: ‘Defilement,’ but if they know what happened seven years ago….
“Has Princess herself revealed the number of times she seduced Ijesha?
“Ijesha cannot fight, but we will fight for him.
“There were times that Princess called Ijesha to come over to her place, that she has prepared Ofada stew, knowing full well that he has a wife, even though she is not in Nigeria.
“You claim to be friend to somebody and you are also the enemy.
“Why are you a friend enemy to him?
“I have lived with him all my life and he never abused me.
“They want to tarnish his image because of his fame.
“The government should ensure that the innocent does not die in the place of the guilty because anyone who hears one side of the matter without hearing the other side is evil because he (Baba Ijesha) knows nothing about this case.”
