Abass Akande
Fuji musician, Abass Akande, better known as Obesere, for about six weeks has been in the news for allegedly raping one Nike Olaiya. However, the singer has decided to make good of the scandal to make more money for himself while entertaining his fans.
Papa as some choose to call him denied the allegation and has made frantic efforts to vindicate himself in the scandal involving him and his accuser, Nike Olaiya. Obesere in an attempt to vindicate himself released a video titled Rape Scandal before the Lagos State police command cleared him of the allegation.
The video which contains Obesere’s interview and that of his witness, Alahaja Bolatito Omo Owo, was released two weeks ago. Obesere while speaking on the rationale behind the release of the video said, “I want people, especially my fans, to get a clearer picture of what really happened between me and Nike Olaiya. Also, the inclusion of Alhaja Bola Omo Owo’s interview in the video is to let the public know that I have nothing to hide.
“I am sure everybody can recognise me, but I want people to also see the face of Alhaja Omo Owo so that they will all know she’s not a fake person. ’Rape Scandal’ was produced to explain everything in detail. It wasn’t for monetary reason, but all of a sudden, everybody keeps requesting for a copy.”
“By now, Nike should just come out and defend herself. Her picture is also on the jacket of the CD. Everybody knows that Papa can never rape and that will never happen. I believe that won’t be the first time Nike would be swindling men. It’s God that exposed her. That’s why she is running up and down. Everybody has seen the face of a scammer. Very soon, she would show up or be fished out.”
The video Daily Independent gathered is selling well in the market.
