Popular Nollywood actor Olanrewaju James, aka Baba Ijesha, has appealed his five-year jail term at the Lagos Division of the Appeal Court, asking the court to set his conviction aside.
On July 12, 2022, Justice Oluwatoyin Taiwo of the Ikeja Domestic Violence and Sexual Offences Court, convicted the actor to five years imprisonment over the sexual assault of a minor.
Dissatisfied with the judgment, Baba Ijesha approached the Appeal Court to challenge the term.

Responding, the Director of Public Prosecution, Babajide Martins, urged the court to dismiss the appeal for lacking in merit and also a misconception.
