Veteran actor, Deji Aderemi curses those who ‘ganged up’ against Baba Ijesha
The Veteran actor, Deji Aderemi, has dismissed claims that his colleague, Baba Ijesha, defiled the foster daughter of comedienne, Princess. Speaking at the Lagos State Special Offences Court in Lagos where Baba Ijesha is currently being arraigned for a ruling of his bail application, Aderemi alleged that some persons ganged up against Baba Ijesha to send him to prison and that it will never be well with them.
”I came to court because they said somebody slept with someone. This is a normal thing in our industry. Even you reporters, would you say you do not sleep with each other? It is something that happens every day in the industry. If this person has done something wrong, they should reprimand him rather than laying false accusations on him.
There is no successful female actor that would say that she has not been slept with in the industry before.
They now planned for him. This issue hurts so many people. I know it will never be well with them. They turned another person’s child into a prisoner. Because of what? They laid a false allegation against him.
I came to the proceedings today to come and learn from it to learn life lessons. These are the same people that he has eaten with before. How come they are now laying such an allegation on him.
Since I started acting, I have never heard of such a thing before. It isn’t like this thing doesn’t happen but I am surprised it is going to court.”
He said he called Iyabo Ojo to drop the case against the actor but she ended the call on him.
”I called Iyabo Ojo and I told her that she is a child among us. I told her that as her father I want her to forget the case. Iyabo asked me if I would like such a thing to happen to my daughter?. I told her that I was talking to her as her father. She hung the phone on me. Princess hasn’t been vocal. It is Iyabo we have been seeing doing different recordings.
