Comedienne, Damilola Adekoya aka Princess, today explained
to the Lagos State Special Offences Court how she set up her embattled
colleague, Olanrewaju ‘Baba Ijesha’ Omiyinka.
Baba Ijesha was arrested in April for alleged sexual assault
involving a minor.
On Monday, Justice Oluwatoyin Taiwo admitted the
Closed-circuit Television (CCTV) footage which captured the incident as
evidence.
Explaining how the CCTV was set up in the house, Princess
said: “The CCTV man, Mr. Brown set up the CCTV in the house. He owns a
surveillance company. I don’t know the name, I only know Mr. Brown. I didn’t
know the make of the CCTV camera used.
“Immediately I moved
to the house, my landlord advised me to put a CCTV in the house, after asking
for the price, I felt it was too high,” she told the court.
“On Monday, 19th April 2021, I invited Baba Ijesha to my
house for a script conference, which he did. Unknown to him, there were CCTV
planted in my house.”
When Princess was asked why she left the foster daughter
with Baba Ijesha despite the prior allegation, she said: “The initial plan was
to confront him but in the process, I knew it could get violent, the
installation was to capture if the scene would get violent.
“I did not believe he (Baba Ijesha) would repeat the same
function now that she is grown.”
