The Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, has conferred a chieftaincy title on actor Olanrewaju Omiyinka, popularly known as Baba Ijesha, and also gifted him a brand new car.

He also revealed that he was bestowed with the chieftaincy title of Baba Awada Konge Oduwa. 
This comes months after Baba Ijesha was released from prison for sxually assaulting a 14-year-old girl. Recall that a State High Court sitting in Ikeja on Thursday, 14th of July 2022 sentenced Olanrewaju James aka Baba Ijesha to 16 years imprisonment for sxually assaulting a 14year old girl.

The sentences were to run concurrently, meaning he was expected to serve 5 years in prison. He only served three years in prison and was released on Saturday, 15 November 2025. He then quietly got married to celebrity stylist Abiodun Tokunbo, CEO Luminee Couture, and they welcomed a son named King Kagar Omiyinka, shocking Nigerians when they announced it in June 2026, less than 9 months after his prison release.
