A forensic report presented by a witness, Mrs. Olabisi Ajayi-Kayode on Tuesday to Special Offenses Court in Ikeja has revealed that the embattled Yoruba actor, Mr. James Omiyinka, popularly known as ‘Baba Ijesha’, inserted a car key into the Virgina of a minor.
The prosecution led by the Lagos State Director of Public Prosecution (DPP), Mrs. Olayinka Adeyemi presented the witness, a child forensic expert and the Executive Director of Cece Yara Foundation revealing that the clinical report on the minor showed Baba Ijesha engaged the child in sexual activities when she was 7 on two occasions and on one occasion inserted his car key into her Virgina.
She added that the forensic interview she had with the victim showed engagement and surpression of the minor as on different occasion, Baba Ijesha has asked the minor not to inform anyone.
She said: “he asked the child if he should remove his penis and asked her to sit on his lap. He told her not to tell anybody. The perpetrator also inserted his car key into her Virgina and asked her not to tell anyone.”
Earlier, the counsel to the defendant as seek that the case be adjourned but was declined by justice Olwatoyin Taiwo following the plea from DPP that the counsel to the defendant is taking the court for granted as the case is a criminal case urging Justice Oluwatoyin to refuse a plea for adjournment.
Meanwhile, Justice Oluwatoyin has adjourned the trial to October 20 and 21 for further hearing.
Speaking to news men at the court premises, a movie producer in entourage of Baba Ijesha stated that the forensic reports could be fallacy while condemning the report of Baba Ijesha admitting to the sexual assault allegations.
He said: ” There is a form of fallacy which could also mean that the forensic report is fallacy but we wouldn’t conclude now since they told us that they have a video presentation to make. As of that we are going to judge between what is being said and what is on the video.”
Recall that the Nigerian actor was on June 16 arraigned before a Chief Magistrates’ Court in Yaba, Lagos State for alleged sexual assault and attempted rape of a minor.
The 48-year-old man was arraigned on a four-count charge of sexual assault, sexual assault by penetration, attempted rape and indecent treatment of a child.
