Mixed reactions follow Baba Ijesha and wife Luminee’s announcement of their newborn

Nollywood actor Olanrewaju Omiyinka, better known as Baba Ijesha, and his wife, Anjy Luminee, have announced the birth of a baby boy, a news that has sparked a range of reactions on social media.

DAILY POST reported that the couple revealed the arrival of their son on Tuesday, prompting congratulatory messages from colleagues, fans and well‑wishers.

At the same time, the announcement reignited discussions about the actor’s previous legal issues.

Among the responders was Bobrisky, whose congratulatory note drew criticism from some users.

Actress Moyo Lawal also faced backlash after sending her congratulations, with some questioning her support.

Others defended her, arguing that offering congratulations should not be a target for criticism.

Reality TV personality Angel Smith questioned Luminee’s decision to stay married to Baba Ijesha amid the controversy surrounding his conviction.

Social media commentator Daniel Regha added that Luminee should have ended the marriage after the actor’s sentencing.

Despite the criticism, several celebrities celebrated the couple’s new arrival.

Actor Yomi Fabiyi sent his congratulations, while actress Olayinka Solomon and other supporters also offered goodwill messages.

The development has sparked widespread debate across social media, with opinions split between those congratulating the family and those expressing concern over the actor’s past.

For context, Baba Ijesha was convicted by a Lagos State High Court in 2022 for the sexual assault of a minor and sentenced to 16 years in prison. The conviction was later overturned by the Court of Appeal, leading to his release from prison in November 2025.
