Nollywood actor Olanrewaju Omiyinka has addressed the rape accusations levelled against him by his colleague Princess, denying any wrongdoing and claiming he was set up.
In a candid interview, Baba Ijesha said Princess “knows she has betrayed everyone she has ever been friends with” and insisted that he never dated, hugged, or kissed her.
“I never asked her out, never dated her, never hugged or kissed her. She cried to me the same way she’s crying now, saying she can’t do without me and my program. I won’t say what she didn’t say,” he explained.
He also opened up about his fallout with Nollywood star Iyabo Ojo, expressing hurt over being doubted despite having cared for her children when they were younger.
“What hurt me about Iyabo Ojo is that she has put Priscillia and her brother in my care when they were younger. Someone spoke about Iyabo and what she did, and I said, ‘Iyabo is my product, and I can’t ruin her.’ That is why Yomi Fabiyi is fighting so hard,” Baba Ijesha said.
The actor claimed Princess invited him to act in her house as part of a setup. He added that during his time in prison, he took on a positive role among inmates.
“She told me to come and act. She said Lagos State gave her a series of productions. I made myself a prisoner’s ambassador. If it is true that I disvirgined this lady with a car key, let me die in prison. Prison is nobody’s mate,” he said.
Baba Ijesha also revealed that comedian I Go Die introduced him to Princess, and he disclosed that he had lost twins with a former partner.

“A comedian, I Go, Dye, introduced Princess to me. Did she tell the world that she secretly arranged an introduction for me, and that I turned it down? After the wedding, you said you want to go to the UK for Masters. I bought the ticket and all. Unknown to me, it’s a planned work. I would have had twins, but she removed them,” he said.
Defending his reputation, he stated, “I was destabilised. What’s my offence? What happened is different from what people are saying. I am not a paedophile? I am not a rapist? And I will never be. God only chose to bring me out.”
The actor continues to stand by his innocence as public scrutiny over the allegations persists.
