Popular 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.”
Vanguard 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.
We are lovers — Obesere
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.
