SCANDAL: Obesere Settles Rape Case On TV, "It's True I Slept With Her But..."



Fuji musician, Obesere who was recently arrested for allegedly molesting a 29-year-old business woman, Olanike Olaiya, yesterday, finally told his own side of the story on the Wazobia show on MITV.


The Fuji star was accused by his victim of molesting her, inserting a ring in her private part which made her bleed for days in his Okota house, Lagos and also threatening her life after she reported the case to the police, thereby making it viral.

Obesere who was reported to have pressured the police to drop case accepted he slept with the lady but did not rape her saying its his enemies at work who are trying to bring him down.

See what he had to say below:

She visited me at home at night and it was too late for her to return to her place. I won’t lie about the fact that we had intimate encounter. But I did not rape her. And it was about four or five days after she visited me that she went to the police to allege that I molested her. 

I went to the police station but when when I realized that the officers there were favoring her as a complainant, I requested them to transfer the case to the State Criminal Investigation Department, SCID, Panti, Yaba. There, they asked her for evidence that she was molested. There was no injury on her. Her clothes were intact.

When she couldn’t produce evidence, the police advised her not to attempt to blackmail me. They advised her to gently approach me and ask for help if she wanted anything. When she first called me to say she was feeling sick, I called the woman who introduced her to me to take her to hospital. But Alhaja said nothing was wrong with her, that she was only trying to extort me. Alhaja said she planned to blackmail me into parting with between five and ten million naira. 

I can tell you my enemies are behind the allegation. They are trying to bring me down. But they won’t succeed because I’m a child of God, a messenger of God. Once God remains behind me, nobody can bring me down. 

I’m a responsible man, a reliable man. But I’m human and therefore fallible. But I’m not losing sleep about this allegation. I’m undeterred and I’m going about my business because I have no doubt that the truth will prevail.”

What do you think of this?

OBESERE'S RAPE UPDATE: Rape Victim Cries Out, "They Threaten To Kill Me For Going Public With My Ordeal"


The Lady Fuji musician Obesere allegedly molested has cried put. The 29-Year old business woman says ever since the press published her story yesterday, she has been receiving life threaten calls from them. I am highly frightened, she said.

There were indications, yesterday, that the case involving popular Fuji musician, Alhaji Abass Akande, also known as Obesere, arrested for allegedly molesting a 29-year-old business woman, Miss Olanike Olaiya, in his Okota residence may have been  transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department, SCID.

Sources told Vanguard, yesterday, that the embattled musician preferred the SCID to the  Isolo Police division because the DPO had insisted on the matter going to court.

Normally, it is  the Divisional Police Officer at Isolo Division, Aminu Ibrahim, that should have ordered the transfer of the case to SCID for further investigations.

But Obesere was alleged to have used his contacts in the police to have the case transferred to SCID.

A police source also disclosed that Obesere found it difficult to pressurize the DPO at Isolo into striking out the matter or persuade the victim to accept a settlement.

The source, who craved anonymity, also said Obesere contacted some top citizens to wade into the matter by persuading the DPO to soft-pedal on the  matter but they backed down when they discovered that the police have incriminating evidence against the musician.

Victim relocates to Sagamu for treatment

Meantime, the victim, Olaiya, told Vanguard yesterday that she had relocated to her home town, Sagamu in Ogun State, where she is currently receiving treatment for the rape incident.

Olaiya, who spoke with Vanguard on the telephone, said: “As I speak with you, I am in Sagamu, my home town, where I have been  receiving traditional treatment since the incident occurred.

I bled for more than two weeks —Victim

“I bled for more than two weeks after Alhaji Obesere molested me and inserted his ring into my private part. The incident occurred on February 12, 2013 and I have spent a lot of money treating myself.

“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.

They threatened to kill me

“Afterwards, they started threatening me. The IPO, Alhaji Obesere, and some of his brothers, who were present there, asked me to stop the journalists from publishing my story and if I don’t, I will be a dead person.

“I was so frightened when they said this and each time my phone rang someone would pick it up to know who was calling.

“Later, they discovered  I wasn’t going to break, then they started begging me and promised to take care of me. Alhaji Obesere even said he was going to take me to the best hospital for treatment.

“At the end, I rose to leave and they offered to drop me in my place. The IPO also insisted that I should follow them. Instead of taking me to my area, they took me to Obesere’s house and the woman who introduced me to him was also there.

“While I was with them I alerted the police at Isolo and told them where I was.

“But yesterday, they called after they saw the publication and started threatening again to kill me.

“I am highly terrified, that was why I travelled back  to my home to get some treatment.”

NOLLYWOOD: Obesere Arrested For Alleged Rape

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 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.

Victim Tells Court; ‘Pastor Raped Me Countless Times’


Pastor Princewill Basil who is standing trial before an FCT High Court over alleged rape of two girls was on Tuesday confronted by a second victim who claimed he raped her countless times.

Basil, the General Overseer, Mountain Movers Fire Ministry Church, Nyanya, was arraigned in 2012 for allegedly having unlawful carnal knowledge and impregnating two student-members of his church, aged 14 and 15 years.

Giving evidence under cross-examination by the defence counsel, Mr. Sunday Kekere, the victim said the pastor rape her to “cleanse her spirit of dirt’’.

“I cannot remember the number of times he raped me.

“Papa told me it was a continuous deliverance, and he had to sleep with me to clean all the dirt inside me and also cleanse my future,’’’ she told court.

When asked if in her statement to the National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Person (NAPTIP), she admitted living with the accused, she answered `no’.

“I never told them (NAPTIP) that. I told them that I always go there to assist Papa’s former fiancĂ©e Cynthia, with household chores.

“There are days that I sleep over to finish my chores,’’ she said.

When asked if the pastor had paid her school fees before, she said: “Papa had once told me during deliverance that he gave my mum N40, 000 for my school fees.’’

“When I asked my mum, she said it was not true,’’ she testified.

The victim alleged that the accused had on some occasions, threatened her with a knife to force her to sleep with him.

After her testimony, Justice Hussein Baba-Yusuf adjourned the case to March 14 for continuation of testimony.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) recalls that at the last sitting of the case on Feb. 11, the first victim told the court that Basil allegedly told her that her father’s wife was trying to kill her and that the Lord told him to perform a quick deliverance on her.

“I agreed for the deliverance to be carried out on me. During the deliverance, he carried a white handkerchief and a bottle of oil and asked me to remove my clothes.

“He also asked me if I was menstruating and I told him no.

“He told me that I was possessed with many evil spirits that had stained my blood, and it will only take my husband to deliver me and I was not married.

“He said that he will carry out the cleansing on me,’’ she said.

The victim testified that the accused led her into his bedroom and asked her to close her eyes, brought his handkerchief and placed it over her head and she became very weak.

The victim, alleged that the accused raped her.

The offences, NAPTIP said, contravened the provisions of Sections 97, 179, 397(B) and 268 of the Penal Code.

If convicted, he is liable to 14 years in prison.

The accused had pleaded not guilty to the charges.

'Bible Never Said Do Not Abort A Baby Conceived Via Rape' - Pastor Chris Oyakhilome


Pastor Chris Oyakhilome, yesterday, during Christ Embassy's Communion Service answered the question: 'Can a baby that is a product of rape be aborted?'

Using David and Bethsheba's case to answer the question, Pastor Chris said despite David's prayer and fasting, the child who was a result of David's sin still died.

His words:
No child should be brought into this world by force, if a lady has been molested, it is left for her to make a decision of whether to keep the baby or not. If you have never been molested or someone close to you haven't, you may not agree with this statement.

It is never mentioned anywhere in the bible, to keep a child from a woman who was molested!
