Legit.ng also reported that actor Yomi Fabiyi accused Baba Ijesha of betrayal, saying the veteran sent someone to threaten him shortly after leaving prison.

He explained that the move shocked him deeply because he had stood by Baba Ijesha during his darkest period, even when many others turned away.

Yomi recalled how he defended Baba Ijesha throughout the 2021 sexual assault case that eventually led to a conviction, and continued to show support for him after the prison term ended in 2025.
