LAGOS, Nigeria – Nollywood actor, Mr. Olanrewaju James Omiyinka better known as Baba-Ijesha has issued a disclaimer, saying that the former Chairman of the Nigerian Bar Association(NBA) Ikeja branch, Mr. Adesina Ogunlana is neither his lawyer nor has he been appointed to represent him.
Baba Ijesha who is currently on bail issued the statement following earlier utterance by the former NBA chairman that the actor was his client and that he was speaking for his client when he spoke about Baja Ijesha bail and sundry issues.
But in a swift statement, Baba Ijesha thanked all his friends, fans and well wishers around the world for their immerse support, prayers and genuine love bestowed on him during his detention for child abuse of 14 a year old girl.
“I want to use this medium to inform the general public that one MR. ADESINA OGUNLANA who has been parading himself as Baba-Ijesha (Olanrewaju James Omiyinka’s) Lawyer is not my Lawyer.
“I wish to state categorically and emphatically that I’ve never briefed the Lawyer nor instructed him to act on my behalf in any way or manner howsoever and whatsoever.
“He is not my Lawyer and whatever you heard or hear from him concerning my Lawyers, the Police or Court case does not represent the true position as he has been acting without my knowledge or consent”, Baba Ijesha said through his lawyers.
“My Lawyers are as follows: (1).Prince Kayode Olabiran (08037199178). (2).J.Ogunbiyi-Oluwaseyi,Esq (08036228797) and(3).Oyeniyi Akande, Esq (08033124979)”, he said, adding that the Nigeria Police Force has never asked or demanded for any money from him as regards his bail which he said was granted by the Court on account of his ill – health.
He said that the N500,000:00 refundable bail bond was part of his bail conditions ordered by the Court, payable to the Court Registry’s Account (and not Police Account).
“In view of the above, any enquiry on this subject should be directed or channeled to any of my duly authorised Lawyers as stated above”, he said.
