Embattled Nigerian moviemaker and actor, Olanrewaju Omiyinka, who is better known as Baba Ijesha, has stated that human beings are more wicked than snakes.
He stated this three months after he was released from a Lagos State prison, where he served time following his conviction on allegations of sexual assault levelled against him by a colleague and comedian, Damilola Adekoya, better known as Princess.

Recall that in 2021, Princess had accused Baba Ijesha of sexually assaulting her 14-year-old foster daughter at her residence.
eelive.ng reports that Ijesha regained his freedom in November 2025 after completing his five-year prison term.
Speaking for the first time after his release, the actor in a viral music video, accused Princess of framing him up.

Sharing his own side of the incident that took him to prison, Baba Ijesha warned his fans and the public to be careful with friends.
While insisting that the incident was a setup by Princess, who was his close friend, the actor lamented being betrayed by those he truly trusted.
He said, “My trust was betrayed, I ended up in Kirikiri prison because of a woman. She asked them to silence me, so that my voice would not be heard. This is how it happened. Please listen to my own side of the story.
“The incident happened on April 21, 2021. Princess she devil who was my friend, called me to say she’s preparing my favorite food, pounded yams, egusi soup with bush meat. That was how I got captured. The world is wicked. She told me about a job before that day, but she said she doesn’t want me to play my usual role in the movie, she wants me to act as a young guy because she wants to take me to another level, but I never knew it was Kirikiri and Panti prison.
“When I got to her house, I met some people at her house. While still waiting for her to finish cooking, I started rehearsing according to what the alleged director told me, not knowing it was a lie, there’s no movie anywhere, it was all set up. The main offender is walking freely while they want an innocent man to be killed. That’s how I got to Kirikiri.
“Please, my fans, be careful with friends. They cannot be trusted. Flee from them because the world is evil, and human beings are more wicked than venomous snakes.”
