Obesere released from Police Custody for alleged Rape
Fuji star Abass Akande Obsere
who was accused of raping a 29-year old business woman, has been
released by the State Criminal Investigation Department, Yaba, Lagos.
The police officers revealed to Punch reporters that the musician was invited for questioning and released immediately.
“We invited him based on the
petition we received and he has written a statement. He said the woman
was his girlfriend and she had come to visit him at home.
Obesere is not a flight risk, so we
have released him on bail. However, investigations will continue and if
he is found culpable, he will be arrested.
The woman in question came to
Obesere’s house willingly and was not abducted. There are no
eyewitnesses apart from Obesere and the victim, so we cannot conclude
that it was rape, but we will leave no stone unturned.” said the police officer.
