Lagos State Domestic and Sexual Violence Agency has confirmed that Nollywood actor Olanrewaju James, popularly known as Baba Ijesha, has been added to the Lagos State Sex Offenders Register after completing his jail term for sexually assaulting a minor.
In a post shared on X, the Domestic and Sexual Violence Agency restated the government’s position, quoting the Attorney-General as saying: Mr Olanrewaju James was not cleared of the offences of sexual assault and indecent treatment of a child.
He warned that the assertions being circulated by actor Yomi Fabiyi were wholly untrue and capable of alarming the public.
The Attorney-General asked Lagos residents and the wider public to disregard the false reports and cautioned Fabiyi and any platform promoting the claims to desist immediately.
The agency added that, “In line with Section 37 of the Lagos State Domestic and Sexual Violence Agency Law 2021, his name has been duly entered into the Lagos State Sex Offenders Register.
According to the state government, this measure supports ongoing efforts to protect minors, strengthen accountability and ensure that accurate information is available to the public.
