Popular Fuji musician, Alhaji Abass Akande, popularly known as Obesere, has been arrested for allegedly raping a 29-year-old business woman, Miss Olanike Olaiya in his Okota residence, Lagos. 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, only to be re-arrested on Monday, when medical examination conducted on Olaiya revealed that she was actually raped. Narrating her ordeal, the victim Nike Olaiya, in a statement said she got to know Obesere through one of her 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.” Nike, a National Diploma graduate of business administration from Ibadan Polytechnic further said “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.” The Divisional Police Officer, Isolo, Adamu Ibrahim, has since ordered the transfer of the matter to State Criminal Investigation Department, SCID, Panti, Yaba, for further investigation.
