Popular Nollywood actor, Olanrewaju Omiyinka, aka Baba Ijesha, has been arrested by men of the Lagos State Police Command for allegedly defiling a minor. It was gathered that a closed-circuit television installed in the victim’s home captured Omiyinka allegedly molesting the victim while her mother was not at home.
The victim’s mother, who had been
suspecting that her daughter was being sexually abused, installed the
CCTV to uncover the perpetrator. According to her, she monitored the
situation in her home on her phone and to her dismay, she saw Omiyinka
allegedly conducting him self in a suspicious manner around her
daughter. He was alleged to have taken the victim away from the sitting
room into the kitchen where there was no CCTV camera installed, and the
mother, who rushed back home upon the discovery, allegedly caught
Omiyinka defiling her daughter in the kitchen.
The
victim’s mother was said to have been inconsolable after her discovery.
The state Police Public Relations Officer, Muyiwa Adejobi, said in a
statement on Thursday that Omiyinka was arrested after a case of
defilement was reported against him, adding that preliminary
investigation revealed that he had been sex- ually assaulting the
14-year-old victim since she was seven.
He stated that Omiyinka
confessed to the crime, adding that the case had been transferred to the
Gender Unit of the State Criminal Investigation and Intelligence
Department, Panti, Yaba, for proper investigation. Adejobi said:
