Obesere Rape Scandal Latest: ‘We Had Sex On A Mututal Consent, She Only Wants To Destroy My 30-Year Career’

Popular Fuji musician,  Alhaji Abass Akande, popularly known as Obesere is currently experiencing the other side of life. His rape scandal that went virile last week was somehow below the belt for the talented act, who sees the whole thing as a set up planned to destroy what a reputation he built for about 30 years.

The Fuji Music star had 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.

According to Obesere; “on the night the lady claimed she was raped, we slept together in the same room and it was a mutual consent. We never had any grudges prior to that night and none ensued, while we were there. All she is trying to do is to blackmail me. How will someone build a house for 30 years and another person will just try to destroy it in one day.”

Obesere said in an interview that the lady wrote in her statement to the police at the Special Criminal Investigation Department, SCID, Panti, Yaba that she wanted money from him.

On what transpired at Panti, Obesere said, “They (police) said that she must have an evidence to substantiate her allegation, but there was no proof that somebody tried to force her and there wasn’t even any scratch on her body to suggest that there was a tussle with someone.

“The officer, who interrogated us, blamed the IPO, who monitored the case from Isolo for not investigating properly. They asked us to go and promised to call on us whenever we were needed again for further questioning. But they made her realize that most of her allegations were spurious.”

The musician revealed that he was dating Olanike and that he wanted to assist her to take up the distributorship of ‘Obesere Rice, which he was importing into the country soon. He said that he knew the lady through a businesswoman, who asked him to assist her.

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 fulfill.

“I could not bear the trauma and the bleeding and I reported the matter to the police.

“The DPO, Isolo Police division, took pity on me and refused to give in to Obesere’s pressure to strike out the case and God will bless him for that.

“But last week, I was informed that the case had been transferred to the SCID and my Investigating Police Office, IPO at Isolo asked me to come to the station on Tuesday for the transfer.

“But when I got to the SCID, I discovered the IPO, who took over the case, one Mr. Jacob, I don’t know his rank, became hostile to me…

“You need to see how this man treated me. He started by asking me to write a new statement and when I tried to explain that I had written a statement at Isolo Division, he rebuffed my explanation and insisted I wrote a new one.”
Obesere was first arrested penultimate 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, Carnal 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.
