The traditional ruler who is currently standing trial for the alleged
rape of a 23 years old ex-corps members, Oba Adebukola Alli, the Alowa
of Ilowa in Obokun, Osun State, on Tuesday shocked those present at the
court room when he asked the Court to compel the complainant, Miss Helen ( other names withheld) to show her private part to the court to confirm her allegation
that she sustained injuries after making love with her.
At the resumed hearing of the case before Justice Jide Falola, Oba
Adebukola, who spoke through his counsel, Mr. Tewogbade,
insisted that the victim should either show her private part at the
court room or rather go into the judge’s chamber to show it to the judge
and the prosecution.
The lady subsequently
burst into tears in the witness box, due to the painful request by the monarch asking her to show her private part. This prompted the prosecution counsel, Mr. Biodun
Badiora, to object the question, saying it was meant to insult the
plaintiff.
It took the efforts of the
principal state counsel, Mr. Biodun Badiora to calm her down.
