Update On Musician Obesere's Rapé Saga

While popular Fuji musician, Alhaji Abass Akande Obesere is looking for out-of-court settlement in the saga that has brought so much trouble to him, OluFamous.Com gathered that there are some persons who are bent on seeing that Obesere goes to prison or at least he appears in court for the messy case.

But what did he do? The woman, who he said set him up to extort money from him, is making new claims:

In the words of Ms Olanike: “I bled for more than two weeks after Alhaji Obesere raped me and inserted his ring into my private part. The incident occurred on February 12, 2013 and I have spent a lot of money treating myself.

“The DPO, Isolo Police division, took pity on me and refused to give in to Obesere’s pressure to strike out the case and God will bless him for that. 

“But last week I was informed that the case had been transferred to the SCID and my Investigating Police Office, IPO, at Isolo asked me to come to the station on Tuesday for the transfer. 

“But when I got to the SCID, I discovered the IPO, who took over the case, one Mr. Jacob, I don’t know his rank, became hostile to me...“You need to see how this man treated me. He started by asking me to write a new statement and when I tried to explain that I had written a statement at Isolo division, he rebuffed my explanation and insisted I wrote a new one."

Anyway, Obesere is still maintaining his innocence, saying there is no way a matured lady who is not having an affair with him would have spent the night with him in his house. He said it's just a set up all for money.

Meanwhile, the lady told Vanguard that she had relocated to her home town in Sagamu, Ogun State, where she is currently receiving treatment for the alleged rapé incident.

“As I speak with you, I am in Sagamu, my home town, where I have been receiving traditional treatment since the incident occurred," she claimed.

The embattled musician, Obesere, has been released on bail pending a thorough investigation by the SCID.

Actor Chidi Mokeme Talks About Why He And His Wife Live Apart

In an interview with Yes! magazine this week, actor Chidi Mokeme explained why his wife, Jean Chinwe Olumba, who he married in 2012, lives in the US while he lives in Nigeria….

Well, when I met my wife, this was our default setting. Let me put it like that. Our default setting was that I live in Nigeria and my wife lives in America and then we started a relationship and decided to take the relationship further and decided we were going to be man and wife. So, having taken that decision and having crossed that level, the next thing is to find a way to ease into a location. Everybody knows that you don’t just pack your bag and move in one day. There are things that need to be sorted, relocation needs to be sorted. So, we are taking our time with it. But then again, by virtue of my job, I have a pretty much very flexible timing. I own my time, I decide when to work, when not to work. So, really, I can be with my wife anytime, every time I so desire and it makes it easy. If I work 9-5, then we will always have to wait for when someone was on leave the whole year round, if I want, just to be with my wife.

Good News! Lagos High Court Lifts Ban Against Brymo

The ongoing legal tussle between singer, Brymo and his estranged label, Chocolate City took a different turn today as the court through the presiding judge, Justice Buba I.N lifted the injunction against the artiste, setting him free to continue the release of materials as a full-fledged artiste.

Sitting at the Federal High Court, Ikoyi, Lagos, the presiding judge, Justice Buba I.N in his declaration lifted the court injunction against Brymo stressing that he needs to continue his musical career while the case continues hearing in court. Also, the judge disclosed that both the plaintiff (Chocolate City) and defendant (Brymo) should provide their witnesses in court for the 2-day hearing slated for 19th and 20th of March, 2014 respectively.

According to Justice Buba, Brymo is free to continue doing music as an artiste while Chocolate City can be compensated at a later period. ‘Since the plaintiff (Chocolate City) can be compensated at a later date, the defendant (Brymo) is free to carry out his duties as a singer so that non of the parties will be at advantage’.

While the court lifted the injunction against the music star, sights of relief was conspicuously noticed amidst Brymo and his team sitted at one section of the court chambers.

Prior to the commencement of the court session, Brymo’s legal counsel, Ms. Nike Olagbede apologized for her conducts displayed in court during the last hearing of the case.

During the court session that lasted for around 30 minutes, Chocolate City’s counsel, Mr. T.O Lawal flanked by Ms. C.O Maduboko stated that the bone of contention in court is the breach of contract filed against Brymo for walking out of his contract that runs till April 2016. He stressed that much emphasis should be laid on the court injunction against the singer since money can’t compensate the record label due to the peculiarity of music business.

In her response, Ms. Nike Olagbede stated that her client (Brymo) was right to quit Chocolate City since the label failed to fulfill their part of the contractual agreement. According to Ms. Nike, ‘Brymo signed a 5 year, 3 albums deal with Chocolate City and was right to walk out of the label when all he was promised wasn’t met. He wants to be released because artistes in the music industry have a short life span’.

Nevertheless, the court session that began at 10:20 am lasted only 30 minutes as the presiding judge brought the case to a halt when he adjourned the case for both parties to present evidences and witness at the court hearing on Wednesday 19 and Thursday, 20, 2014 respectively.

Boko Haram men attack 2 villages in Borno + Govt seals border with cameroon

Boko Haram members yesterday Sunday Feb. 23rd attacked two villages, Mairari village of Konduga LGA and Izge village in Gwoza LGA in Borno state killing many people.

This is the second time the sect men are attacking Izge village. They had attacked the village on the 16th of February killing 63 people. In this recent attack, the men came at about 2am, chanting war songs as they killed elderly people in the village and burnt down all the standing buildings in the village. All the men, women and youths fled the village immediately they heard the sect men coming.
In Mairari village, the men arrived at about 12noon, killing 2 people, burning 10 houses and vehicles

There were rumours that the federal government was planning to dissolve the democratic government in Borno state and bring in a military administrator to help stop the continuous attack by the sect men on the state but this has been refuted by the federal government.

Meanwhile the Nigerian government sealed a portion of its North Eastern border with Cameroon yesterday to block the movement of criminal groups from entering into the country
