I am not in the habit of making comment on social media, but something isn't right here, premise 1, Police has vindicated Obesere, ( the Lady in question is a swindler) premise 2, police as still investigating the case, premise 3 police is now the judge and jury all at the same time.
I smell coffee in this case, human right lawyers must get involve in the case please see below legal defination of rape. Nigerians must not allow this lady to be victimised because she is poor since the police are now singing new song because there has been exchange. Beside, this is total abuse of the Nigerian judicial system. The police have no constitutional right to try any body, they have to follow due process as laid down in the Nigerian constitution.
rape
1) n. the crime of segxwal intercourse (with actual penetration of a woman's honeypot with the man's joystick) without consent and accomplished through force, threat of violence or intimidation (such as a threat to harm a woman's child, husband or boyfriend). What constitutes lack of consent usually includes saying "no" or being too drunk or drug-influenced for the woman to be able to either resist or consent, but a recent Pennsylvania case ruled that a woman must do more than say "no" on the bizarre theory that "no" does not always mean "don't," but a flirtatious come-on. "Date rape" involves rape by an acquaintance who refuses to stop when told to. Defense attorneys often argue that there had to be physical resistance, but the modern view is that fear of harm and the relative strengths of the man and the woman are obvious deterrents to a woman fighting back. Any segxwal intercourse with a child is rape and in most states segxwal relations even with consent involving a girl 14 to 18 (with some variation on ages in a few states) is "statutory rape," on the basis that the female is unable to give consent. 2) v. to made loveual intercourse with a female without her consent through force, violence, threat or intimidation, or with a girl under age. Technically, a woman can be charged with rape by assisting a man in the rape of another woman. Dissatisfied with the typical prosecution of rape cases (in which the defense humiliates the accuser, and prosecutors are unable or unwilling to protect the woman from such tactics), women have been suing for civil damages for the physical and emotional damage caused by the rape, although too often the perpetrator has no funds. Protection services for rape victims have been developed by both public and private agencies. On the other side of the coin, there is the concern of law enforcement and prosecutors that women whose advances have been rejected by a man, or who have been caught in the act of consensual segxwal intercourse may falsely cry "rape."

What you stated are facts… but something is missing…
Police anywhere in the world are not supposed to the judge and the jury
….at the same time they can use their discretion either to file charges or not
….and in some cases with the help of prosecutor or DA prosecution is not pursued if it is a weak case or will not result into a conviction.
As in this case we don’t know all the facts other than what we read in the media.
Rape is a serious issue and in Nigeria you cannot trust the police sometimes if not all the time.
Truly Obesere should not have been involved in such escapade….he belittled himself.
Did Obesere learn any lesson?….I don’t think so because he is bragging too much.
