"He Can Never Disown Me" Baba Ijesha's Lawyer Speaks After Being Denied By Baba Ijesha

Barrister Adeshina Ogunlana has identified claims that embattled actor Olanrewaju James, also known as Baba Ijesha, denied hiring him as his lawyer as a deception.

Recall that on Saturday, Baba Ijesha issued a disclaimer via his counsel, Kayode Olabisan, claiming that he never briefed Ogunlana to be his legal representative.

“I wish to state categorically and emphatically that I have never briefed the lawyer nor instructed him to act on my behalf in any way, or manner howsoever and whatsoever.

“He (Ogunlana) is not my lawyer, and whatever you heard or hear from him concerning my lawyers, the police or court case, does not represent the true position.

“He has been acting without my knowledge or consent,” he had said.

In response, Ogunlana said that the disclaimer was the work of "funny characters," and that they were fighting back after a magistrate granted Baba Ijesha bail.

“Take my laughter as my initial response to the news that James Olanrewaju issued a press statement that I am not his lawyer. These people don’t know me. God assisted us to grant him bail through the magistrate.

“Baba Ijesha can say that you are a thunderbolt. You are too much for me. But he can never disown me. He didn’t, he will not. He can never say that he does know, brief me.

“I am telling you very confidently that all what you are seeing is a ruse. It is a shenanigan. It is all selfish interest both in th police that are trying to fight back.
