A member of Baba Ijesha’s defence team, Mr Dada Awosika (SAN), made the assertion on Tuesday while cross-examining actress and comedienne, Ms Damilola Adekoya, alias Princess, the foster mother of the minor.

Mr Babatunde Ogala (SAN), the lead defence counsel, made the allegation on Tuesday during the trial of Baba Ijesha over six-counts of defilement at an Ikeja Special Offences Court.

Baba Ijesha was arrested in April for alleged sexual assault involving a minor.

Justice Oluwatoyin Taiwo adjourned the matter after Princess was cross-examined by Baba Ijesha’s defence counsel.

Princess testified before an Ikeja Special Offences Court on Monday as the first witness for the prosecution, at the trial of Baba Ijesha on six counts of child defilement.
