The trial of the embattled Nollywood actor, Olanrewaju Omiyinka, popularly known as Baba Ijesha, has been postponed to another date again.
The trial which is taking place at the Lagos State Special Offences Court in Ikeja, Lagos, has been adjourned until September 27.
The judge, Oluwatoyin Taiwo, had adjourned the matter to August 11 and 12 for a continuation of trial in June but the Court registrar, Ibrahim Hassan confirmed on Wednesday the judges have gone on a ‘retreat’ to precede their long vacation, which is next week.
It is understood that the judges’ long vacation will begin on August 16 and end on September 17.
Neither Baba Ijesha nor Princess, as well as their respective counsels, were present in court on Wednesday
While his trial lingers, Baba Ijesha appears to have forged ahead as he is currently partaking in a movie that is being shot in Ile-Ife, Osun State.
It was also gathered that the actor is also promoting two new songs titled; ‘Eleda mi’ and ‘very soon”. He made the disclosure this during an interview on Oodua 90.9 FM, Ile – Ife, Osun State, on Monday.
He, however, did not speak about his ongoing trial in the interview, which lasted 30 minutes.
Offence
Baba Ijesa is currently 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.
