Abass Akande (aka Obesere).
Mrs. Bola Okoro, the woman who is alleged to have introduced the victim, Ms. Olanike
Olaiya to the musician has described the allegation has a blatant lie.
Olaiya, aged 29, had accused Obesere of raping her when she slept in his house located
at Okota area of Lagos.
But refuting Olaiya's claim at The Nation's office in Ibadan on Saturday, Okoro claimed
that she has been responsible for the upkeep of Olaiya and her daughter, Folawe, in her
home for over five years, adding that Olaiya had earlier revealed her plan to blackmail
Obesere in order to collect N10million from him.
She said, "I warned her not to try such a thing and I thought she would take my advice.
Obesere is my business partner and I introduced Olanike to him in order for him to help
her with her business without knowing she had an evil intent.
"She was with Obesere on Tuesday and she called me that she was coming to Ibadan to
check her child the following day, but I told her to wait that I am also coming to Lagos
for a meeting and she came to meet me in the meeting and there was nothing wrong
with her till we got to Ibadan. But Obesere later called me that Olanike said she was
bleeding and that I should take her to the hospital."
Continuing her narration, Okoro added, "When I asked her what happened, she told me
that she needed money and that I should support her plan to collect N10million from
Obesere. But I refused. She later proceeded to Lagos to report at the Okota police
station that she was raped."
Alleging that her friend's real name is not Olanike, Okoro claimed that Olanike's real
name is Morenike Kikelomo.
Vouching for Obesere's innocence, Okoro added, "I have known Alhaji Obesere for over
12 years and I can say he is a responsible and kind hearted individual who can-not hurt a
fly. I wonder why he would stoop so low to rape or use a girl for ritual when so many
girls are out there who want to have him."
