Fuji musician, Alhaji Abass Akande, popularly known as Obesere, has
been arrested by the Police in Lagos State for allegedly raping a
29-year-old business woman, Miss Olanike Olaiya in his Okota residence,
Lagos.
The victim, who took the matter to the Police, also narrated
her ordeal in the hands of the musician whose shows generally fascinate
society women.
According to Olaiya, a National Diploma graduate of business administration from Ibadan Polytechnic, "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."
It
was gathered that Obesere was first arrested last Wednesday by the
Police at Isolo Police Division, where Olaiya reported the matter. He
was subsequently released on administrative bail.
He was
later re-arrested on Monday, when medical examination conducted on
Olaiya 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.
Sources disclosed that
Obesere's 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.
Police
sources also said Obesere in his statement denied ever raping Olaiya,
rather he claimed she was his lover and they made love when she visited
him.
The source added that 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.
