The police officers revealed to Punch reporters that the musician was invited for questioning and released immediately.

“We invited him based on the petition we received and he has written a statement. He said the woman was his girlfriend and she had come to visit him at home.

Obesere is not a flight risk, so we have released him on bail. However, investigations will continue and if he is found culpable, he will be arrested.

The woman in question came to Obesere’s house willingly and was not abducted. There are no eyewitnesses apart from Obesere and the victim, so we cannot conclude that it was rape, but we will leave no stone unturned.” said the police officer.
