Baba Ijesha inserted car key in my private part and said I should not tell anyone — Minor tells court
An Ikeja Sexual Offences Court was on Monday told of how Olanrewaju James (alias Baba Ijesha) allegedly engaged his victim, a minor (names withheld) ìn sexual activities.
The court was also told how the Nollywood actor groomed his victim before defiling her.
A child forensic expert, Mrs Anike Ajayi-Kayode, who is the Executive Director of the Cece Yara Foundation, informed the court that the case of Omiyinka was referred to her by the Special Criminal Investigation Department (SCID) of the Lagos State Command, Nigerian Police Force forensic Investigation.
Ajayi-Kayode who was led in evidence by the Director of Public Prosecution DPP, Mrs Olayinka Adeyemi, said the outcome of her forensic Investigation revealed that “the perpetrator engaged the child ìn sexual activities twice when she was seven years old.”
The witness who is a certified child forensic interview specialist told the court that she had participated in over 25 child forensic interviews.
She said that the survivor was relaxed, cooperative and was able to recall events that happened ìn the past.
The witness also said that the perpetrator reminded his victim that he touched her some years back and that she has grown up and developed.
She said he asked her: “Do you have a boyfriend? We have unfinished business.
Ajayi-Kayode said that the child told her that on the first occasion, her aggressor told her to “remove her pant, sit her on his lap and rub his manhood on her body” and instructed her not to tell anybody.
She said the child told her that on the second occasion which was on April 19, the perpetrator “inserted his car keys into her Virginia” and also told her not to tell anybody.
The child expert told the court that the attributes exhibited by the defendant were the dynamics of child sexual abusers and the modus operandi of perpetrators which involves”secrecy, intimidation, threat or coercion”.
She said the defendant’s attributes were also “similar to that exhibited by child abusers all over the world” due to the vulnerability of their victims.
The child expert said after interviewing the child, she conducted a forensic investigation on her and wrote a report on her findings adding that this has been compressed into a flash drive.
Thereafter, the prosecution sought the court’s permission to tender the flash drive and the report before the court.

Cynthia Morgan has revealed why she will never reach out to Burna Boy amid the controversy surrounding his rumoured past relationship with Uju Stella.
In a recent post on her Instagram story, Morgan claimed people advised her to contact Burna Boy regarding Stella’s interview.
In the interview, Stella alleged that she and Burna Boy dated for three years and she got pregnant for him.
In the post, Morgan said she can’t reach out to Burna Boy because he is still upset that she didn’t believe him when Stella made the accusations in 2016.
The songstress also took a shot at men, arguing that they tend to lie and get angry when others don’t believe them.
“For those sending me messages to reach out to Burna Boy, I won’t. If it was me I would reach out but he is probably still mad that I didn’t believe he didn’t impregnate Uju Stella in 2016,” she wrote.
“That’s what most men do. They lie and get mad when you don’t believe them. Something he finally admitted to online 8 years later. You all leave me alone. All the best Damini.”
Morgan and Burna Boy have collaborated on music, with their 2016 song ‘Acting Bad’ a notable example.
There were also rumours of a romantic relationship between the two singers in 2015, although the pair did not confirm it.
Portable, the controversial Nigerian singer, has taken to social media to shower praise on Burna Boy.
In a post on his Instagram story, Portable hailed Burna Boy as the “biggest among your peers”, describing him as “authentic and genuine”.
Portable posted a picture of Burna Boy, accompanied by the glowing tribute.
“1 man na 7 man you big pass them @burnaboygram. Zazuu no fake life na scam life. Akoi grace. If you wan know the real about the top ask me. I follow dey at the top. Only God see who big is big,” he wrote.
The praise comes amid a heated feud between the self-proclaimed African Giant and Nigerian socialite Cubana Chief Priest.
