Viral video on social media showing Nollywood actor, Olanrewaju James known as Baba-Ijesha, admitting to difiling a minor, has left many people in shock.
Baba-Ijesha has since been arrested for the alleged offence and kept in police custody.
The rumours that he would be released on Friday (tomorrow) earlier attracted a lot of reactions with Nigerians, who claimed that he might have been framed, demanding evidence.
The viral video has since left many of these people doubting the actor committed the crime he is being accused of dumbfounded.
The actor admitted molesting Adekoya Oluwadamilola, a foster child to a popular comedian, Princess, when she was seven years old and tried to repeat the action recently before he was caught on CCTV and arrested.
In the viral video, Princess was heard asking the culprit “Why did you do this after all I did for you?”

FirstNews reported that Princess said that Baba-Ijesha first committed the act when her foster child was seven years old and tried repeating the act now that the girl is 14 before the actor was caught and arrested.
