The Iyabo Ojo Baba Ijesha legal threat emerged after Baba Ijesha appeared on the Talk to B podcast hosted by actress Biola Adebayo, where he claimed that Iyabo Ojo once entrusted her children into his care, a statement that has since sparked widespread reactions.
In the interview, Baba Ijesha also reiterated his denial of allegations of child abuse made against him in 2021 by comedienne Princess, a case that previously led to his conviction in court.
