Nollywood actress Iyabo Ojo has issued a formal cease-and-desist warning to her colleague, Baba Ijesha, following his recent interview addressing past rape allegations.
During the interview with Biola Bayo, Baba Ijesha spoke about his ordeal, expressing hurt over how Iyabo Ojo allegedly turned against him despite his past support for her children.
Responding on her Instagram story, Iyabo Ojo urged him to stop involving her children in his narrative, emphasizing that they were never left alone and were always under the care of nannies or her late mother.
“Setting the record straight. I honestly have no problem with you, Baba Ijesha, telling your side of the story, but take this as a notice to CEASE AND DESIST from using my children as your cheap bait. It won’t fly. My kids have always had nannies or my late mum with them, and they were never alone. At my former business place in Ilupeju, I had multiple staff, including stylists, sales reps and apprentices, so it’s unlikely I’d be the one running errands. I can send a worker if needed,” she wrote.
She added that while he is free to share his experience, he must not mislead the public with false claims about her children.

“I’m okay with you sharing your story, but don’t mislead the public with false claims about my kids. You were a senior colleague no more, however, that 14-year-old girl was a minor, and s*xual assault is never okay. It is a crime. You should show some remorse. The court found you guilty based on evidence, so please don’t drag my kids into this. Stop mentioning their names, else I would direct my counsel to serve you appropriate papers,” Iyabo Ojo warned.
This public warning marks the latest development in the ongoing legal and public disputes surrounding Baba Ijesha’s past convictions and media statements.
