Nollywood actress Iyabo Ojo has issued a strong warning to actor Olanrewaju Omiyinka, popularly known as Baba Ijesha, following a recent interview that has sparked widespread reactions across Nigeria.
The controversy began after Baba Ijesha appeared on the “Talk to B” podcast hosted by actress Biola Adebayo, where he made claims about his past relationship with Iyabo Ojo and her family. The interview, which aired on Sunday, quickly went viral and drew intense debate on social media.
During the interview, Baba Ijesha alleged that Iyabo Ojo once entrusted her children to his care. He made the statement while denying allegations of sexual misconduct that were first raised against him in 2021 by comedienne Damilola Adekoya.

Reacting to the claims, Iyabo Ojo rejected the statements and accused the actor of spreading false information about her children. She made it clear that she would not tolerate any attempt to involve her family in the ongoing controversy.
“Iyabo Ojo threatens Baba Ijesha” became a trending topic after the actress shared her response on Instagram. She stressed that the court had already delivered its judgment based on evidence presented during the trial.
“The court found you guilty based on evidence, so please don’t drag my children into this,” she wrote. “Else I would direct my counsel to serve you appropriate papers.”
Her statement signals the possibility of fresh legal action if the actor continues to make such claims. It also highlights her determination to protect her children and her family’s reputation.
The renewed exchange has once again drawn attention to one of Nollywood’s most controversial cases in recent years. While Baba Ijesha maintained his position during the interview, Iyabo Ojo’s response has reignited public interest and debate.
Observers say the situation raises important questions about accountability, public statements, and respect for court rulings. Many Nigerians have called for restraint, urging public figures to avoid comments that could escalate tensions.
As reactions continue, the dispute shows how past events can resurface and shape ongoing conversations within the entertainment industry.
