Osun State Governor, Prince Olagunsoye Oyinlola, has ordered the trial of a chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party in the state, Chief Ganiyu Oladiran, and three others for alleged rape and assault.

Oladiran, according to the State Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice, Mr. Niyi Owolade, was fingered in an alleged rape of an Action Congress teenage supporter in Ilesa, Miss Tosin Ajakaye.

Ajakaye, a Senior Secondary School student, was allegedly raped on September 16, 2007 at her residence by a PDP supporter, Mr Obafemi Kolawole.

Owolade said Oladiran would be charged with conspiracy and assault.

Two other PDP supporters that would be arraigned along with Oladiran are Olawale Fakolujo and Kehinde Odediran, who were charged with assault on AC supporters which include Sunday Ibitoye; Lasun Gbadamosi, Lawal Sikiru, Tosin Ajakaye and Oluwafemi Ojo.

Owolade, at a news briefing on Thursday in Osogbo, said the AC supporters alleged that the PDP suspects unleashed mayhem on them in retaliation of the burning of Oladiran’s residence and vehicles during the protest that greeted the April 14 governorship poll.

Owolade, who condemned the action of the Lagos State Assembly, said the parliament of the neighbouring state had “no jurisdiction to compel or hurry Osun State on the issue.”

He said, “Osun is no satellite of Lagos. The governor has directed a full trial of the suspects involved in the alleged crime. A prima facie case has been established against the suspects.

“We want to tell the world that Osun State is replete with men and women of dignity in governance. Nobody is above the law here in Osun State. The Lagos parliament should not politicise this issue. We have just received the police report and we have prepared a legal advice.”

Who said men can't go to jail in Nigeria for rape? It'll happen live in Osun state very soon.

I will blv it when it has happened, a nation where even the magistrate has raped his househelp, a nation where a brown envelope is all that is needed, or a nation where has been arrived at the dinner and all they do is read out th verdict at court? I am sure that soon, that nation will be better and all the bad eggs will be dealt with.
They ought to be jailed and thrw out the keys,cos i am sure most of the suspects probably has daughter of same age as the victim, if not older.
Shameful he-goats.
