Sexual Assault: Baba Ijesha Denied Bail, Case Transferred To High Court

Baba Ijesha has been in police prison since April 22, 2021, when the Lagos State Police Command confirmed his arrest for allegedly sexually abusing a 14-year-old child under the care of Adekola Adekanya, also known as Princess.
According to a previous report by NEWS DIRECT, Lagos State Attorney-General Moyosore Onigbanjo, SAN, Baba Ijesha might face a life sentence if found guilty in court.
