The trial of Nollywood actor, Olanrewaju James, also known as Baba Ijesha, has been adjourned by an Ikeja Special Offences Court in Lagos State.
Baba Ijesha was charged with alleged defilement.
The matter has, however, been adjourned to December 15.
According to the defence counsel, Prince Kayode, the court adjourned the case due to a request that the court should strike out the statement given by the actor at the Sabo Police Station when he was initially arrested.
The lawyer noted that the defendant’s statement given at Sabo Police Station differs from the one he wrote at the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID), Panti.
He, however, said lawyers to both parties have submitted their written addresses to the court and the outcome would be heard on December 15.
“The content of the statement he gave at Sabo Police Station seems like it was written under duress. The statement differs from the one he wrote at SCID, Panti.
