Justice Oluwatoyin Taiwo of an Ikeja Domestic Violence and Sexual Offences Court yesterday fixed February 17, 2022, for a Nollywood actor, Olanrewaju James, alias Baba Ijesha, to open his defence in his ongoing trial over allegations of defilement of a minor.
Justice Taiwo fixed the date following the submission of the defence counsel, Dotun Ajulo, who prayed the court for a short adjournment.
Baba Ijesha is facing a six-count charge bordering on the indecent treatment of a child, sexual assault, attempted sexual assault by penetration and sexual assault by penetration.
Ajulo also informed the court that yesterday’s proceedings were scheduled for “definite adoption of written addresses on no-case submission.”
He said the defence has decided to enter a defence.
