Controversial Nollywood actor Baba Ijesha (Olanrewaju Omiyinka) and celebrity stylist Luminee have welcomed their first child together (a baby boy named King Kagar Omiyinka) triggering heated debates online over morality and the timeline of the birth.
The actor announced the joyful news on his Instagram page with a maternity video, expressing deep gratitude to God. He wrote:
“In quiet ways, in unseen ways, God has been writing a story only He could tell… We thank the Almighty for blessing us with a healthy baby BOY. God gave me more than I prayed for: my ever-beautiful wife, Strong JAGABAN, @ceolumineeofficial who became a mother of my Son KING KAGAR OMIYINKA.”
Luminee also shared her excitement, describing the baby as a miracle and reaffirming her love for her husband.
The announcement has sparked widespread uproar, with many netizens questioning the timeline. Baba Ijesha was released from prison in November 2025 after serving a sentence related to his 2022 conviction for the sexual assault of a minor. The rapid arrival of the child has led to intense calculations and criticism about when the relationship began and how the pregnancy occurred.
Beyond the timeline debate, many Nigerians are questioning the moral and ethical implications of Luminee choosing to have a child with a convicted sexual offender. Reactions range from shock and condemnation to calls for the couple’s privacy, with some arguing that everyone deserves a second chance while many others express deep concern for the child’s future.
Despite the backlash, the couple appears focused on celebrating their new bundle of joy.
