Nollywood actor, Olanrewaju Omiyinka, professionally known as Baba Ijesha, has stated that human beings are more wicked than snakes.
He made the statement three months after he was released from a Lagos State prison where he served time following his conviction on allegations of sexual assault levelled against him by colleague and comedian, Damilola Adekoya, popularly known as Princess.
Recall that Princess had in 2021 accused Baba Ijesha of sexually assaulting her 14-year-old foster daughter at her residence.
Baba Ijesha regained his freedom in November 2025 after completing his five-year prison term.
Speaking for the first time after his release, the actor in a viral music video accused Princess of framing him.
Sharing his side of the incident that led to his imprisonment, Baba Ijesha warned his fans and the public to be careful with friends.
While insisting that the incident was a setup by Princess, who he said was his close friend, the actor lamented being betrayed by people he trusted.
He said, “My trust was betrayed, I ended up in Kirikiri prison because of a woman. She asked them to silence me so that my voice would not be heard. This is how it happened. Please listen to my own side of the story.
“The incident happened on April 21, 2021. Princess, who was my friend, called me and said she was preparing my favorite food, pounded yam and egusi soup with bush meat. That was how I got captured. The world is wicked.
“She had earlier told me about a job but said she didn’t want me to play my usual role in the movie. She wanted me to act as a young guy because she said she wanted to take me to another level. I never knew it was Kirikiri and Panti prison.
“When I got to her house, I met some people there. While waiting for her to finish cooking, I started rehearsing according to what the alleged director told me, not knowing it was all a lie. There was no movie anywhere; it was all a setup.
“The main offender is walking freely while they want an innocent man to be killed. That’s how I got to Kirikiri.
“Please my fans be careful with friends. They cannot be trusted. Flee from them because the world is evil, and human beings are more wicked than venomous snakes.”
