The legal tension between Iyabo Ojo and Olanrewaju Omiyinka, known as Baba Ijesha, has reached a critical boiling point following his recent release from prison and a series of controversial media appearances. The rift was reignited after the actor appeared on Biola Adebayo’s Talk To B podcast, where he not only maintained his innocence by claiming he was “set up” but also alleged that Iyabo Ojo had once entrusted her children, Festus and Priscilla, to his care.
Iyabo Ojo responded with a fierce legal warning, categorically denying the actor’s claims and accusing him of using her family as “cheap bait” to rehabilitate his public image. She has explicitly threatened fresh legal action, including a defamation lawsuit and a formal “cease and desist” order, if he continues to reference her children in his narratives. The actress emphasized that her children were never left in his custody and warned that any further mention of their names in his interviews would be met with immediate litigation from her legal team.
The drama has also dragged in other industry figures, as podcaster Biola Adebayo was forced to issue a tearful public apology and take down the interview following massive public outcry. As the “Queen of TikTok” stands firm on protecting her family, legal observers suggest that the actor’s continued denials—despite his 2022 conviction—could potentially lead to new charges of character defamation or harassment if he persists in his current media strategy.
