Nollywood actor Olanrewaju Omiyinka, better known as Baba Ijesha, has sparked fresh reactions after laying down a strict condition for female fans who want to take pictures with him.

“When they come closer to you, they want to take picture, they want to greet you, they want to do anything, ask them, are you an adult?” he said.

One of his companions quickly stepped in, jokingly declaring himself “Inspector General of Fuji Music” and confirming that all the ladies present were indeed adults, which made the actor relax and agree to the photos.

The clip has drawn mixed reactions online, with many mocking Baba Ijesha for being overly cautious while others noted he was trying to avoid trouble.

Baba Ijesha’s insistence comes less than a year after his release from prison in November 2025, following his 2022 conviction for sexual offences against a 14-year-old girl.

His return to the spotlight has divided opinion, with some Nigerians questioning how quickly he has resumed public appearances after serving a jail term.
