LAGOS – Embattled Nollywood actor Olanrewaju Omiyinka, popularly known as Baba Ijesha, has broken his silence regarding the collapse of his marriage. Speaking on the Talk to B podcast with Biola Adebayo, the veteran actor claimed his union ended after his wife allegedly used a master's degree program in the United Kingdom as a cover to reunite with another man.
From Support to Heartbreak
According to the actor, the marriage began without conflict. When his wife expressed a desire to further her education abroad, he claimed to have fully funded the endeavor, including:
- Visa Processing: Handling all official documentation.
- Travel Logistics: Purchasing her plane ticket and necessary supplies.
- Educational Support: Preparing everything required for her Master’s program.
The "Setup" Allegation
Baba Ijesha revealed that shortly after her arrival in the UK, he discovered the move was not truly academic. He alleged that his wife had been maintaining a relationship with another man and used the educational opportunity as a "setup" to relocate and be with him.
“Unknown to me, it was a setup. She had another man she was dating and wanted to go and have fun with,” the actor stated during the emotional interview.
The Wider Controversy
This revelation is part of a series of claims made by the actor during the podcast, including assertions that Iyabo Ojo once entrusted her children to him—a claim the actress has since labeled as false while threatening fresh legal action. This interview marks Baba Ijesha's most significant public appearance since his release following a high-profile legal battle.
