Popular Musician Obesere "Rapes" Business Woman In Lagos

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 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. ocb gathered they are trying to settle out of court.
