Respite came the way of the embattled traditional ruler of Ilowa, Oba Bukola Alli, on Wednesday when an Osogbo Magistrate’s Court granted him bail over an allegation that he raped a female member of the National Youth Service Corps (names withheld).
The NYSC member, who was in court when the case came up for mention, spotted a white long-sleeve shirt over a flowery black skirt.
She was accompanied to court by several NYSC members and legal representations from the Federal Ministry of Women Affairs and Office of the Attorney General of the Federation.
Alli, who spotted a black cap and a pink native dress, came to court with his wife.
The ruler had earlier in the day appeared before Magistrate Olalekan Ijiyode, who transferred the case to the Chief Magistrate, Mr Adewunmi Makanjuola.
Transferring the case, Ijiyode said the case was better handled by the Chief Magistrate, whom he described as a senior and more experienced hand.
The traditional ruler was not in Ijiyode’s court when the case was called. This angered Ijiyode, who threatened to issue a bench warrant against the traditional ruler for lateness to court.
The traditional ruler’s legal team quickly sent word to him informing him that the case was being heard.
Alli rushed into the court just as the case was called the second time.
Ordering the ruler to remove his cap, Ijiyode said the law was no respecter of anybody.
He, thereafter, transferred the case to Makanjuola, who later heard the case afresh.
Prosecution counsel, Inspector Benjamin Akindoyin, opposed the bail application by Alli’s lead counsel, Mr. A. O. Lamuye.
Eight lawyers represented the alleged rape victim in court. They included Messrs Tijani Ibrahim, S. A. Banjo, J. U. Nayaba, Ekemini Udim, Paulson Juliet, Manik Yinusa, O. Debra, and Abdulmumin Khalib.
Makanjuola adjourned the case till August 11, 2011 for hearing.
The NYSC member had accused the ruler of molesting her on March 25, 2011, at his Osogbo residence after she had a ride with him.
Addressing a news conference in March, the NYSC member had alleged that the ruler forcefully had sex with her without using a condom.

Women are evil from the begining, is a man that will know how to caution himself most especially when you are at a higher post where many people are looking up to you. No one knows the pattern of the catwalk she do take when she is going out with the Kabiyesi atleast according to the news she was begin attached to the palace so she do follow the king out as one of his PA. May God guard we men from the hands of the women of this our time.
