Ogunbayo Oluwakayode, also known as Pastor Jerosi, a comedian and performer, described how Baba Ijesha met and dated comedienne Damilola Adekoya alias Princess.
Kayode Olabiran, a co-defence attorney, testified in court that Ogunbanjo had worked with Baba Ijesha in the entertainment sector for over 15 years.
Baba Ijesha was a friend and coworker, according to the witness, who is also an actor and comedian.

He revealed that Princess met Baba Ijesha in one of the events he hosted, ‘Orisun.’
“The show used to be hosted by a group of roughly five people. Princess called the hotline on that day, during the show, to say she wanted to be a part of our program.
“There was a day she called Baba Ijesha over to her place in Iwaya. I drove the car to her house in Iwaya.
“When we got there, Ijesha prostrated himself before her mother and the woman said, ‘Take good care of my daughter’.
“At that point, Baba Ijesha revealed to me that he was dating Princess but she was taking the relationship too far,” the witness said. Under cross-examination by the prosecution counsel, Yusuf Sule, the witness, however, said he did not have any knowledge of what transpired inside the comedienne’s house.
“On April 19, 2021, I will be correct to say that you were not at No. 13 Wellbow St., Iwaya, as a result, you do not know what transpired inside Princess’s house?,” Sule asked.
“On April 19, 2021, I did not know what transpired inside the house as I was in Aguda in Surulere.
“All I know is what I have said. I was not inside the house. I do not have any knowledge of what happened in the house,” Ogunbanjo responded.
Justice Oluwatoyin Taiwo adjourned the case until June 6, 2022, for the adoption of the final written address.
