Akande, popularly known as Obesere,
has been arrested by the Police in
Lagos State for allegedly raping a 29-
year-old businesswoman, Olanike Olaiya
in his Okota residence.
The sad woman, who reported the
matter to Police, also narrated her
ordeal in the hands of the musician who
is known for large-crowd shows that
fascinate society women. Ms Olanike
said:
"I got to know Obesere through
one of my friends, Mrs Bola
Okoro. She told me that Obesere
would assist me in my business. I
deal in office equipment and
when I contacted Obesere, he
asked me to meet him in his
family house at Okota. When I
met him, I introduced my
business to him and he promised
to connect me to some of his
friends in Dubai who would sell
goods to me on credit.
" After the discussion, he started
demanding for sex and I refused
and when I wanted to leave, he
insisted I should sleep over in his
house because it was late and he
claimed that it was dangerous to
go out late in the night in his
area...
"I thought he was a responsible
man and I decided to sleep over,
but at the dead of the night, he
came into the room where I slept
and pounced on me.
" He raped me and afterwards
inserted a ring he wore into my
private part and I started
bleeding. He hurriedly left me in
the room saying he had an
appointment to fulfil . I could not
bear the trauma and the bleeding
and I reported the matter to the
police."
According to Vanguard, Obesere was
first arrested last Wednesday by the
Police at Isolo, where Ms Olanike had
reported the matter. He was
subsequently released on administrative
bail.
He was later re-arrested on Monday,
when medical examination conducted
on the lady revealed that she was
actually raped and the Divisional Police
Officer, Isolo, Adamu Ibrahim, was said
to have ordered the transfer of the
matter to State Criminal Investigation
Department, SCID, Panti, Yaba, for
further investigation.
His arrest was made possible through a
Warrant Of Arrest issued by the Chief
Magistrate of Isolo Magistrate Court,
Mrs Kike Bukola Ayeye, as he had
declined to honour several police
invitations sent to his house at Johnson
Famiye Street, Canal Estate, Ago,
Okota.
But in his reaction, Obesere said he
and Ms Olanike are lovers
Police sources also said Obesere in his
statement denied ever raping her,
rather he claimed she was his lover and
they made love when she visited him.
A source said Obesere claimed he asked
her to go to a private hospital for
treatment when she complained that
she was bleeding, but he was surprised
when she reported to the police that
she was raped.
The popular singer is now in police
custody. Afrikmedia gathered
they are trying to settle out of court.
