An Ikeja Domestic Violence and Sexual Offences Court has heard that the content of a Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) recording on popular actor James Olarewaju aka Baba Ijesha may have been tampered with.
A defence witness and expert in CCTV installation and maintenance, Engr Adeleke Lawrence made an allusion to this while being led in evidence by Babatunde Ogala (SAN) in the ongoing trial of Ijesha Baba.
Baba Ijesha is facing a six-count charge of child defilement bordering on allegations of indecent treatment of a child, sexual assault, attempted sexual assault by penetration and sexual assault by penetration before Justice Oluwatoyin Taiwo.
Two video recordings of Baba Ijesha were played during resumed proceedings on Thursday following the request of Ogala.
The first video showed the defendant sitting on a sofa with the survivor.
Two men and a woman walked out in the recording, which had no audio.
Asked of his opinion on what he saw, the witness said: “The gentleman and the lady appeared to be acting the way they were asked to do.”
