Wale Jana Defends Baba Ijesha’s Right to Redemption Despite Conviction
Businessman Wale Jana has spoken out after Nollywood actor Baba Ijesha announced his marriage and first child with fashion designer CEO Luminee. His comments come amid strong public backlash. Jana acknowledged that the actor was convicted of child sexual assault in July 2022 and completed his sentence in late 2025. He argued that a criminal record should not prevent anyone from experiencing mercy or rebuilding their life. He urged Nigerians to allow room for second chances and new beginnings. He believes everyone deserves an opportunity to restore their reputation and move forward.
