Nollywood actress Iyabo Ojo and comedian Princess have protested against the alleged plan to release actor Olanrewaju Omiyinka aka Baba Ijesha from police custody.
The celebrities held the protest at Panti Police Station on Thursday after news surfaced that Baba Ijesha may be released.
A senior officer at the Lagos State Police Command has told Newsmen that a directive had been given for the release of Nollywood actor, Olanrewaju Omiyinka, aka Baba Ijesha, from custody.

The source said due to the ongoing strike by members of the Judicial Staff Union of Nigeria, courts had ceased sitting and the suspect could not be detained indefinitely without trial.
The source, however, said the investigation into the recent allegation against Omiyinka revealed that he did not defile the victim, adding that when she was questioned, the victim confirmed the same.
“We are here at Panti, and he still here. They are not bailing Baba Ijesha. We are here and we have sorted it out,” the actress said in a video of the protest.
