Baba Ijesha has regained his freedom following a Court of Appeal judgment that overturned his earlier conviction for the sexual assault of a minor.
According to reports, the appellate court ruled that the evidence presented during the initial trial was insufficient to uphold the conviction, which ultimately led to his release.
Special recognition goes to actor Yomi Fabiyi, who stood firmly by Baba Ijesha throughout the legal battle.
His persistence and loyalty proved invaluable, as he pursued the matter to the appeal court—a rare quality in friendship.
It is important to note that when a judge delivers a ruling one disagrees with, the proper course of action is not to challenge the judge personally.
Judges enjoy judicial immunity, meaning they cannot be sued for decisions made in the line of duty, even if those judgments are perceived as flawed.
Instead, the remedy lies in approaching the Court of Appeal, highlighting specific errors in the earlier judgment, and presenting reasons why it should be set aside. This is precisely why the appellate system exists—to provide fairness, correct mistakes, and ensure justice is served.
The law, by design, offers everyone the opportunity to seek redress and overturn wrongful judgments.
Congratulations, once again to Legendary movie actor: Baba Ijesha.
