Nollywood actor Baba Ijesha has reopened discussions surrounding his controversial child sexual abuse case, claiming that he was framed and that several individuals conspired against him to ruin his reputation.
The actor made the allegations during an interview with Agbaletu Uncensored, where he maintained his innocence and rejected the description of him as a paedophile.
According to Baba Ijesha, he did not understand the meaning of the word until he was imprisoned following the allegations.
“I am not a paedophile, I don’t even know what it means until I was in prison,” he said.
The actor also questioned the circumstances surrounding the video evidence that featured prominently in the case.
He claimed that he had never visited the house where he was reportedly captured on camera, raising further questions about the allegations against him.
“The house where I was caught on camera, I have never been there before,” he stated.
Baba Ijesha further recalled his reaction after being accused of using a key to deflower a seven-year-old girl.
He said he challenged those accusing him by referring to the fact that he also has a daughter, adding that he placed a curse on himself to demonstrate his innocence.
“They said I used a key to deflower a 7-year-old. I told them I also have a girl child; when is time they should do likewise to her if I truly did it. I laid that curse,” he said.
The actor also alleged that someone had warned him about the incident before it happened. However, he claimed that he only remembered the person's name after the controversy had emerged.
His latest comments have brought renewed attention to the high-profile case, which attracted widespread public interest and generated considerable debate within the Nigerian entertainment industry.
Baba Ijesha's conviction and imprisonment had previously sparked reactions from celebrities, legal observers and members of the public, particularly over the circumstances of the allegations and the evidence presented during the legal proceedings.
His latest interview represents his personal account of the events, with the actor continuing to insist that he was wrongly accused.
However, his claims remain allegations and do not, on their own, overturn the outcome of the legal proceedings against him.
