The presence of some personalities associated with actress Iyabo Ojo also caught attention, however their presence at the ceremony does not, on its own, establish their position on the actor’s past controversy.
The celebration was held for the couple’s son, King Kagar Omiyinka, who was born in June 2026. It was a combined naming and thanksgiving ceremony.
The couple had earlier announced plans for the celebration and described it as a royal occasion, with guests and supporters invited to participate in the event.
Baba Ijesha was released from prison in November 2025 after serving a sentence following his 2022 conviction for sexual assault involving a minor.
His relationship with Luminee attracted renewed public attention after the couple announced the birth of their son in June 2026.
