The actor shared the news via his verified Instagram page on Friday.

He described the arrival of his three sons as his “greatest blessing”.

“I’ve been quiet, not absent. I was building and protecting my world,” Adedimeji wrote.

The actor further celebrated his wife as a “mother of three” and his “legacy”.

His announcement follows years of intense social media scrutiny regarding their marriage.

Critics frequently trolled the couple over their childless status since their December 2021 wedding.

Previous years were marked by viral “clickbait” videos claiming the couple had twins.

Adedimeji had previously dismissed these rumours, urging fans to respect their private journey.

The news of the three boys has now sparked a frenzy of joy online.

Prominent stars joined thousands of fans to celebrate the “triple miracle”.

“God is Good! I am in tears,” wrote actress Juliana Oloyede in an emotional post.

Omowumi Dada also described the triplets’ arrival as the best news for May.

Other notable well-wishers included Iyabo Ojo, Destiny Etiko, and veteran actress Fathia Balogun.

State counsel, Mr Yusuf Sule, made the disclosure on Friday while explaining the absence of two witnesses slated to testify against the actor in his ongoing trial for sexual assault.

“My lord, the first witness is a police officer, he could not come to court today because he has been transferred and needs to get permission from where he was posted.

“The second witness could not come to court; he is jittery, he is scared to come to court.

“My lord, we will ensure that all the witnesses are in court by next week Friday,” the prosecutor said.

Following the submission, Justice Oluwatoyin Taiwo adjourned the case until November 19 for continuation of trial.

The Lagos State Director of Public Prosecution, Mrs Olayinka Adeyemi, on Monday told an Ikeja Special Offences Court that Fabiyi produced a movie entitled “Oko Iyabo,” based on the court proceedings of June 24, 2021.

Nollywood actor, Olanrewaju James, alias ‘Baba Ijesha’ is facing a six-count charge bordering on the indecent treatment of a child, sexual assault, attempted sexual assault by penetration and sexual assault by penetration at the court.

Adeyemi told the court on Monday that despite warnings during proceedings of June 24 that the matter was subjudice and, therefore, prohibited from public discussion elsewhere, Fabiyi went ahead and made a movie about the facts of the case.

The DPP noted that the movie, which was aired after the proceedings of June 24, breached the Judge’s directives by revealing sensitive information about the case which was before the court.

“Despite the warnings of this honourable court, an actor called Yomi Fabiyi went ahead and made a movie about the facts of this case.

“He used real names of the parties and witnesses in this matter in the movie. Our application is to exclude him, his privies and his agents from proceedings in court.

“He is not in court at the moment but his representatives may be in court. This is contempt of court and we intend to prosecute him and bring him before this court,” the DPP said.

Reacting, Justice Oluwatoyin Taiwo expressed displeasure about the development and ordered for an investigation.

“This case is subjudice and you are not to be making videos and disparaging comments on social media. This needs to be investigated,” the judge said.

Responding to the allegations, the lead defence counsel, Mr Dada Awosika (SAN), said that though he was aware of the movie, it was filmed before the criminal case began in court.

“The movie is about the controversy between two artistes – Yomi Fabiyi and Iyabo Ojo. I saw the movie on YouTube.

“The two of them are supporters on different sides. Fabiyi is one supporter and Ojo is another supporter.

“This movie is about the controversy between both of them and they are not parties to this case,” Awosika said.

Justice Taiwo reiterated the fact that the allegations against Fabiyi should be investigated by authorities to enable legal actions to be taken against him if he is found culpable.

Famous Nollywood actress, Ms Iyabo Ojo, was in court during the proceedings.

The Nollywood actress and the foster mother of the complainant, Ms Damilola Adekoya, alias Princess, had begun their testimonies as witnesses for the state.

It was gathered that Nollywood actress, Iyabo Ojo, comedian, Princess, and others had stormed the SCID, Panti, to protest alleged plans to release Baba Ijesha by the police.

The Police Public Relations Officer, PPRO, in Lagos, CSP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, said there were no plans to release the suspect as wrongly perceived.

He added that the Commissioner of Police in Lagos State, CP Hakeem Odumosu, had ordered the detention of the suspect pending the receipt of legal advice from the Directorate of Public Prosecutions (DPPs).

“The CP had already said that the suspect would remain in police custody and would not be released. His case file has been sent to the DPP for advice. After the DPP’s advice, we will know what to do,” he said.

The 48-year-old Olarenwaju James, popularly known as Baba Ijesha, was arrested on April 22 for allegedly defiling a minor.

CSP Olumuyiwa Adejobi had said in a statement that preliminary findings revealed that the suspect started assaulting the victim sexually since she was seven years’ old.

There was an uproar following a report that a directive had been given for the release of the Nollywood actor from custody.

The report was that the suspect could be released as he could not be detained indefinitely due to the ongoing strike by members of the Judicial Staff Union of Nigeria, JUSUN.

A video of the suspect confessing to the crime and begging for forgiveness had, however, gone viral following the rumour that investigation allegedly revealed that Baba Ijesha did not defile the victim.
