Baba Ijesha is facing a six-count charge of indecent treatment of a child, sexual assault, attempted sexual assault by penetration and sexual assault by penetration.
Olugbemi also noted that “something was wrong” with the footage of an interview conducted by child rights expert and prosecution witness, Olabisi Ajayi-Kayode.
Baba Ijesha made this revelation while being led in evidence by the defence counsel, Dada Awosika (SAN), on Friday.
The actor testified as the second defence witness at his trial over alleged defilement of 14-year-old foster daughter of Princess.
The News Agency of Nigeria reports that the witness, Lawrence Ayeni, testified before an Ikeja Special Offences Court.
Olayinka Adeyemi, the Lagos State Director of the Directorate of Public Prosecution, made this known on Wednesday.
The News Agency of Nigeria reports that state counsel, Yusuf Sule, made the disclosure on Friday while explaining the absence of two witnesses slated to testify against the actor in his ongoing trial for sexual assault.
Kareem, attached to the State Criminal Investigation Department, testified as the fifth prosecution witness in the trial.
The forensic report was presented by a child forensic expert and the Executive Director of Cece Yara Foundation, Olabisi Ajayi-Kayode at the Special Offenses Court in Ikeja.
The News Agency of Nigeria reports that Ajayi-Kayode is the Executive Director of the Cece Yara Foundation, a non-governmental organisation founded to prevent child sexual abuse and provide emergency intervention for children.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Baba Ijesha is facing a six-count charge of alleged defilement of a minor.
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.
Adekoya made the revelation on Monday while testifying as the first prosecution witness in the trial of Baba Ijesha.
In a copy of a disclaimer made available to the News Agency of Nigeria on Saturday in Lagos, James said he never briefed Ogunlana to be his legal representative.
Baba Ijesha has been in detention for alleged sexual molestation of a minor.
According to it, this is based on criminal charges he has to answer to.
It would be recalled that when the police announced that Baba Ijesha was in their custody for allegedly sexually abusing a minor, Yomi Fabiyi was one of those who demanded to see the CCTV footage of the incident which the police said they had custody of.
Recall that The Eagle Online earlier reported that Baba Ijesha was recently arrested by the Lagos State Police Command for allegedly molesting a minor.
