Ikeja Special Offences court in Lagos, Southwest Nigeria has convicted Nollywood actor, James Olanrewaju, also known as Baba Ijesha of s*xual assault involving a minor.

Justice Oluwatoyin Taiwo, on Tuesday, convicted Baba Ijesha of indecent treatment of a child, s*xual assault, and attempted s*xual assault in a two-hour judgment.

Taiwo, however, discharged and acquitted him of count one and count six, which were: s*xual assault by penetration and attempted s*xual assault by penetration.
