Alleged rape of ex-NYSC member: Osun oba now to open defence

From BAMIGBOLA GBOLAGUNTE, Osogbo

The Alowa of Ilowa in Obokun Local Government Area of Osun State, Oba Adebukola Alli, who was standing trial over an alleged rape of a 23-year-old ex- National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) member who served in his domain, has told an Osogbo High Court of his readiness to open his defence.

Alli had been standing trial for allegedly having unlawful sexual intercourse with the former corps member, Miss Hellen Okpara at his private residence in Osogbo, on March 23, 2010 when he invited her to his Osogbo residence. Justice Oyejide Falola had recently ruled that the accused monarch, who had earlier told the court that he made love to Okpara and that they both enjoyed it, had a case to answer. The judge ruled that Alli should open his defence on the rape charge. But the order apparently, did not go down well with Alli, who through his counsel, Mr. Taofeek Tewogbade, filed a motion on notice for leave to appeal the judgment.

The prosecution lawyers led by the Director of Public Prosecution (DPP) in the state, Dapo Adeniji, filed a notice of preliminary objection. However, at the resumed hearing of the case yesterday, Alli bowed to pressure when his lawyer informed the court of their intention to withdraw the motion for leave to appeal, thus opening their defence. Tewogbade told the court ,“My Lord, I want to withdraw the application and proceed to defence.” The court, however, struck out the two applications of the defence and prosecution and adjourned the case till January 14, 2013 for the defence.

    …the Oba monarch said they really enjoyed it. PROBABLY,the NYSC member filed for rape .something is fishy here.who do we believe?

      Nothing fishy. Rape is not about enjoyed the sex or not, it about consent: did she/he consent to the sex. no consent to sex- RAPE. And how will the Oba define what he called ‘enjoyment’

        I hail your comments regarding this oba’s rape issue. Thanks for educating the ignorant masses on what rape means in law as it has nothing to do with ‘enjoyment’ on the parties involved rather on consent ! Q.E.D.

      This illiterate Oba and his defence team could have used the word ” consensual” instead of we both enjoyed it is absolute nonsense.

    Lawyers and judges and our justice system they can hardly decide a case straight. all these while they are unable to determine if its rape or not, bunch of LIARS.

    One can’t call dis case “rape” it’s a clear setup. I believe dat dis prostitute lured d monarch into dis mess 4 political and monetary reasons, God won’t 4give her until she confesses.

      Don’t be arrogant and stupid to call someone prostitute. Be civil and responsible.

    The Oba who admitted that, both of them enjoyed it should be removed from office with immediate effect. The Oba is a shame to his people in particular, and to all Osuns in general. WHAT A SHAMELESS ACT.

    Since 2010 and we are just at the stage of opening defence.

    This is imbecility masquerading as administration of justice. Nothing depicts our extremely poor problem solving skills as a people like the inability of the administrators of justice in Nigeria to provide speedy execution of justice.

    This is foolishness of the highest order in the courtrooms

    Initially,,the Oba denied sex with her but Médical analysis nailed him,hé then changed statement claiming both enjoyed It .
    THIS OBA IS A RAPIST..HIS PEOPLE SHOULD DETHRONE HIM.Period

    Justice delayed justice denied. This case had lingered on for years now. This Oba is used to having his way on young Corp members posted to his domain. He never know that this girl will have the courage to continue the case. He has done so many things to distort the judgement. I am surprised that he has not been dethroned.

    NYSC. THE SYMBOL OF UNITY. OBA BEING THE FATHER HOW CAN HE TURN HIS OWN DAUGHTER TO A PROSTITUTION. IS IT WHAT TRADITION TEACHES?

    That Oba should cover himself in shame. Let’s assume it was a setup,he should have known better. And for him opening his smelly mouth to say they both enjoyed it should cost him the throne,bcos he is morally deficient.

    Oba Alli, has defieled his monarchship. He must be dethroned after the ruling by the court. His people should begin the process of looking inward to appoint a competent leader and not a ruler again in their dormain. Oba Alli is a big disgrace to his kingdom. He must be bannished from his enclave, this is pure sacrilegious. Who knows how many house wives this shameless Oba might have infringed upon because of his useless status in his community.

    When has oba’s bedroom turn to duty post for d NYSC sex hungry girl? Is she d wife? Let her certificate be cancelled and with held for turning d NYs to a platform for exchanging organ with a man old enof to be his grand father. And for u Oba thanks for opening wide ur mouth to say we enjoyed it. Agadi ekwe nka, okenye aruru-ala.instead of being a role model u ends up being a sampson. Let me assure u dat no matter how u try to cover up, u can neva sleep on d laps of delialah and wake up at d bossom of Abraham. This should cause u the throne to serve as a deterant to other highly exalted public office holders especially traditional leaders to call there manhood to order .
