Alleged Rape Of Corps Member: ‘We Had Sexual Intercourse Many Times’

A traditional ruler in Obokun Local Government Area of Osun State, the Alowa of Ilowa-Ijesa, Oba Adebukola Alli, who has been standing trial for allegedly defiling a 23-year-old ex-member of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), (name withheld), on Friday, denied the allegation.
He said it was not his first time of making love with the ex-corps member, saying that they had s*xual intercourse together on several occasions, and that they always enjoyed the act.



The traditional ruler, who was facing a one-count charge of defiling the plaintiff, who served as a corps member in his domain in 2011, also told Justice Oyejide Falola of the Osun State High Court, that the victim was his lover and that they usually had s*xual intercourse both in his palace and at his private residence in Osogbo where the incident allegedly took place.
“The lady is my lover, I did not r*pe her and that was not our first time of having s*xual intercourse, she is my lover, but I was surprised when I got to the police station over the allegation. She slept with me from 25 to 26 March, 2011 and I got to know that she had reported me to the police on Monday, 28 March, 2011.
“I met the ex-corper during a programme in Ibokun. On the day in question, 25 March, 2011, both of us left Ilowa to Osogbo where we branched at Osun grove in order to replicate the grove at Ilowa historical site.
“After we left Osun grove, we drove down to my private residence where we spent the night and when it was 10:30 to 11pm, she removed her jacket and she told me to help her loose her underwear from her back, which I did and I discovered that she was not wearing any bra, she then took off her skirt and pants herself and we started making love. After making love that night which lasted without struggle, I drove her back the next day to Ilowa.
