Lawyer speaks on why Baba Ijesha is still in jail despite being granted bail

May 20,2021
Share:

 Baba Ijesha’s lawyer, Adesina Ogunlana, has explained why the actor has not been released from detention despite being granted bail.

Olanrewaju James, aka Baba Ijesha, who was accused of molesting a 14-year-old girl, has been granted bail by a magistrate, yet he remains in police custody.

Explaining why this is so, Adesina said it’s because Baba Ijesha has two sets of lawyers and while he insists Baba Ijesha be released without paying bail money, the other set of lawyers are negotiating with the police who are asking for money to be paid as bail.

Adesina Ogunlana said: “The main problem is Ijesha has two sets of lawyers. The first set are the normal, due process conservative group and the other one is led by me, the one that they’re seeing as volatile, as radical, as activist, as confrontational. “

He said this difference in methods and opinions between both sets of lawyers is delaying Ijesha’s release.

He named a senior police officer heading the gender unit, Margaret Ighodalo, and said she’s comfortable working with the other set of lawyers thereby delaying Baba Ijesha’s release until money has been paid.

Adesina Ogunlana said Margaret Ighodalo keeps insisting it’s the other set of lawyers that she knows and will work with. He also said that she’s been “hostile” towards him.

He added that the other set of lawyers have also been reluctant to work together with him because they are concerned about someone else “stealing glory” from them.

He explained that he has disagreed with the other group of lawyers in relation to paying for bail. He said he insisted that bail shouldn’t be monetized but the other group are saying it’s the way it’s done and are trying to raise money for it.

He said: “How can you be monetising bail? And lawyers will be acceding to that. How can you accede to the monetisation of bail? The burden that the magistrate has not imposed.”

He continued: “The magistrate never ordered that money be paid.”

To the other set of lawyers involved in Baba Ijesha’s case, Adesina Ogunlana said: “All those other counsel saying somebody is stealing your glory, nobody is stealing your glory. If I have any glory at all, it is enough for me. Who is stealing anybody’s glory? Who is taking your job?

“But the interest is that justice must be served without any compromise

“So, for people asking me, direct your enquiries to those other lawyers that are comfortable working with the police and the police are comfortable, Margaret Ighodalo specifically, to work with them.

“Everybody knows our reputation. We don’t give bribe, we don’t give money, and there’s no need to give money.

“Once again, I’m challenging all those I’ve mentioned, if these things did not happen, if it’s an invention,  Baba Ijesha should be released. Nigerians must learn never ever to be negotiating their rights.”
