Police Declare Obesere Innocent Of Rape Allegation

 

 

In a chat with Encomium magazine, on Friday, March 28, 2014, the Lagos State Police Command Spokesperson, Mrs Ngozi Braide has said Miss Nike Olaiya who accused Obesere of rape is a blackmailer and extortionist. She said they both agreed they had canal knowledge of each other but Nike was only trying to blackmail him afterwards. Here’s how Encomium puts it;

‘As far as we're concerned, and based on the investigations carried out so far on the matter, most of the allegations by Obesere's accuser, Olanike Olaiya were fabricated. Although, they both admitted having canal knowledge of each other, there was absolutely nothing to show that Nike was raped as she claimed. It was a frame -up because the lady has refused to honour police invitation. And the doctor's report available to us has shown that she was not raped. We're made to understand that this lady on her own went to Obesere's house in search of Obesere, that she spent the nights there. She was there cooking and everybody in the house ate. Continue after the cut...

People in that house have equally made statements. I think there was a mutual relationship between the two of them. Nike is a 29 year old lady, a divorcee. I think during the period she was in the house, they had canal knowledge of each other, and she left him after which she went to the station to allege that she was raped. I think there was a case of mutual relationship between both parties as well as extortion attempt’’.

 "Before she went to make such allegations, she had already contacted Obesere on phone to demand certain amount that she was bleeding and so on. Obesere now invited her to a hospital. The doctor examined her and he didn't see anything abnormal. And they said for further clarification, she should go for scan. She left and never returned to the hospital."

But investigation is still in progress. Police would not rest until we get to the root of the matter and we will make the outcome known to the public.

Reacting on the development on Saturday march 29,2014, Omo rapala , as Obesere is known , said, I thank God I have been vindicated by the outcome of the investigations so far conducted by the police. What's next is to enter the studio for my next album. I thank God and that people have identified with me so far. I am very sure the police will soon get to the root of the matter."

Asked to give details of the new album , he said , It's about the incident .But I am yet to decide on its title. Marketers have shown up but it will be marketed and distributed by Ola Oluwa records, Alaba International Market, Lagos. By the special grace of God, it will be out before the end of April this year, he said.
