The embattled Yoruba actor, James Omiyinka, popularly known as ‘Baba Ijesha’, who is currently enmeshed in an alleged rape and child molestation scandal, is gradually bouncing back.
The actor revealed this in an interview with a radio station (Oodua FM 90.9) in Ile-Ife, Osun State.

He described acting as his first love.
He said he is working on a movie that is being shot in Ile-Ife, Osun State.
The actor also promoted two new songs titled; ‘Eleda mi’ and ‘very soon,’ during the interview.
He did not speak on his ongoing court trial.
Since April 22, when the Lagos State Police Command arrested him for allegedly sexually assaulting a 14-year-old foster daughter of a popular comedian, Princess, he has constantly made headlines.
He is facing a six-count charge of sexual assault by penetration, indecent treatment of a child, and sexual assault, which contravene sections 259, 135, and 261 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State 2011, as well as 135, 263, and 262 Criminal Law of Lagos State 2015.
Baba Ijesha had, however, employed the services of two senior advocates of Nigeria – Dada Awosika and Babatunde Ogala, and other lawyers to defend him in court in the last sittings.
The popular Yoruba actor appears to have forged ahead after his N2 million bail application was granted.
Continuation of hearing in Baba Ijesha’ case would continue on Wednesday and Thursday.
