A
barber, Olalekan Oyekan, has been arraigned before an Ebute Metta court over
alleged s*xual harrasement of his neighbour, Wilson Esse.
According
to the prosecutor, Sergent Ishola Samuel, the accused’s offence is different
from what was contained in the charge sheet.
He
alleged that it was a case of r*pe and not s*xual touch for which he was
arraigned.
“There
are typographical errors in the charge sheet. This is a complete case of r*pe
and not sexually touch.”
The
charge states: “ That you Olalekan Oyekan on the 5th day of April 2014 at about
1830 hrs at 9, Oluwaseun Street, off Ayanwale Road, Ikotun sexually touched one
24-year-old Mrs Wilson Esse.”
Counsel to the accused, Mr Emelda Adebambo said the accused was
innocent until proven otherwise by the court. He went further to plead for his
bail on the ground that ”the defendant has no criminal record.”
Mrs M.O. Tanimola granted the accused bail in the sum of N50,000
with one surety in like sum and adjourned the case till May 12.
