A niece to embattled actor Baba Ijesha, Ewatomilola Ayeni, has said that there are people who will fight for him.
She said although he is under incarnation and cannot fight, she, family and others would.
Ayeni said this in Lagos on Thursday, when she attended the actor’s trial.
She noted:
She said, “My name is Ewatomilola Ayeni and the person in question is my elder brother; I am a niece to Baba Ijesha.
“If indeed Ijesha did what he was accused of , his mother-in-law is here and she won’t support him if he is guilty of the offence.
“Everyone is shouting, ‘defilement’ but if they know what happened seven years ago…
“There were times that Princess called Ijesha to come over to her place, that she has prepared Ofada stew, knowing full well that he has a wife, even though she is not in Nigeria.”
“You claim to be friend to somebody and you are also the enemy. Why are you a friend enemy to him?” she queried.
“I have lived with him all my life and he never abused me. They want to tarnish his image because of his fame.”
“The government should ensure that the innocent does not die in the place of the guilty because anyone who hears one side of the matter without hearing the other side is evil, because he (Baba Ijesha) knows nothing about this case.”
