I won’t back down on Baba Ijesha case- Iyabo Ojo
Nollywood actress Iyabo Ojo has vowed she won’t back down from the child molestation case against her embattled colleague Olanrewaju Omiyinka aka Baba Ijesha until justice is served.
The Nation reports Baba Ijesha, who had been granted bail, is standing trial for alleged sexual assault of a minor at the High Court in Ikeja.
Ojo, while reacting to the position of the Board of Trustees, Theater Arts and Motion Pictures Practitioners Association of Nigeria (TAMPAN), which addressed her unprofessional conduct, explained that she has no problem with the association.
“I do not have a problem with TAMPAN. A lot of TAMPAN members are my friends and colleagues. I might not belong to the association but I am a Yoruba actress,” Ojo said.
The Nation reports that the association, during a briefing in Lagos over the weekend, said it would not entertain any form of disrespect by practitioners who try to drag the association in the mud.
Member board of trustee of TAMPAN, Prince Jide Kosoko, said the association is aware of the derogatory statements made by Iyabo Ojo against it and the industry as a whole, noting that it will not take further insults.
But Ojo, in a Instagram live chat monitored by The Nation, carpeted some members of TAMPAN for their double stand as regards the Baba Ijesha case.
She explained some “elders” of the association had commended her for standing with the 14-year-old girl allegedly assaulted by Baba Ijesha but when they go to movie locations, they say bad things about her.
“I have some people who have worked with me, who are still loyal to me ’cause I was never bad to any of my crew members and till tomorrow I’m never be bad to them.
“So most times when they say anything on location about me, they will come back to tell me.
“A lot of people I didn’t even expect in the Yoruba industry said a lot of things. When they see me, they say something else and then behind my back, they say something else.”
Ojo also carpeted her colleague Deji Aderemi, popularly known as Olofa Ina, who had earlier accused her and comedienne Princess of pranking and setting up Baba Ijesha.
Olofa Ina had said: “There’s no actress in our industry now that can claim to be untouched. But they pranked him and set him up. I know those who had a hand in this issue won’t end well because they can’t say ‘they’ weren’t lovers before now.”
He also revealed he called Iyabo Ojo privately and pleaded with her “because she is not as old as he is”.
According to him, “people often get wealthy and have no regard for humans and elders”.
The actor said Ojo said: “Come off it Baba! it’s not how far but how well. She replied that I can’t let such happen to my own daughter. I told her that I’m talking to her as her father, then she cut the phone abruptly. She disrespected me.”
But reacting, Ojo claimed she was never in anyway be rude to him, stating his claims were false.
She stated she only asked a question saying “if it were to be his daughter, what would be his position?”
She however apologised to the actor if he felt offended because of the question.
“I won’t want to say an adult is lying but I was not rude to him.. the only thing he said was he does not want me to reply Yomi Fabiyi and I said no… I will reply Yomi if he says anything wrong… I should not be the one keeping quiet for Yomi.
“He does not want me to say anything about Baba Ijesha’s case… I told him if it was his child, will he tell me to keep quite…And I did not reply him again… i kept mute till the call ended.
“I still stand with that girl… Because Baba Ijesha was granted bail does not mean the case gas ended. So all of you that you are rejoicing … let the court decide… I trust Nigeria, the girl must get justice… I don’t hate Baba Ijesha but I hate what he did to the girl and I stand with the girl and I will continue to stand with the girl… I am a mother,” she added.

Davido Electrifies Ibadan Stadium in 5ive Alive Tour Homecoming
Nigerian global music icon Davido Adeleke brought the energy of his acclaimed 5ive Alive World Tour to a thunderous finale at the Liberty Stadium in Ibadan on Tuesday, November 12, 2025.
The performance marked a symbolic homecoming for Davido, who first graced an Ibadan stage in 2011 as an up-and-coming artist. Fourteen years later, he returned as one of Africa’s biggest stars commanding a crowd of tens of thousands and wrapping up the Nigerian leg of his sold-out world tour.
Fans filled the stadium hours before showtime, chanting his name and waving light sticks as anticipation built. Davido delivered a two-hour set packed with career-defining hits, including Dami Duro, If, Fall, Unavailable, and Feel. The stage production featured pyrotechnics, LED visuals, and guest appearances from Afrobeat collaborators such as Mayorkun and Logos Olori.
Tour organizers revealed that the 5ive Alive concerts sold over 98,000 tickets across Nigeria, with stops in Lagos, Abuja, Port Harcourt, Kano, and Ibadan. The tour, launched earlier in 2025, has drawn international acclaim for its precision, crowd engagement, and Davido’s ability to blend nostalgia with modern Afrobeat energy.
However, the tour wasn’t without somber moments. Reports of two fatalities from overcrowding at the Enugu stop earlier in the month cast a shadow over the celebrations. While Davido’s management has not released an official statement, sources close to the artist confirmed that financial and emotional support was quietly extended to the victims’ families.
In Ibadan, Davido took a reflective pause between songs to thank his fans for their loyalty:
“Ibadan was one of the first cities that believed in me. From 2011 till now look where we are. This is love, this is home,” he said to roaring applause.
As the 5ive Alive tour now prepares to move to Europe and North America, Davido’s Ibadan performance stands as both a triumphant homecoming and a reminder of his decade-long journey as a symbol of modern Nigerian music excellence.
