An Osogbo Magistrate Court yesterday refused police report on the Alowa of Ilowa-Ijesha in Obokun Local Government Area of Osun State, Oba Adebukola Alli, standing trial for allegedly molesting a 23-year-old corps member serving in his domain.
Oba Alli has failed to appear before the court for the third time, claiming to have been hospitalised at the University Hospital College, Ibadan in Oyo State, for suffering stroke.
On June 3, two Fridays ago, when the alleged rape case came up before the court, the monarch’s counsel, Tewo Lamuye, said the accused could not be present because of his poor health and the judge sent a police team to investigate and come with a medical report on Alowa’s health.
When the case was mentioned yesterday, the police told the court that they saw the monarch on admission bed but could not get a medical report because the officer to write it was in a meeting with the hospital’s Chief Medical Director.
The counsel to the accused, in his submission, said: "With the police report confirming Oba Alli’s admission in the hospital, it is enough for doubting Thomases to believe that the accused is sick."
Lamuye, therefore, applied for a long adjournment of July 8 in order for the suspect to recuperate and have enough strenght to stand the trial.
He also applied that the bench warrant issued on the accused and which subsists be vacated.
But the state prosecutor, Olufemi Adedokun, opposed the application for long adjournment and picked June 17, next week Friday.
The prosecutor, who argued that the police report alone was not enough proof that the accused was sick, also opposed the application to the court by the counsel to the accused to lift the bench warrant on Oba Alli.
Adedokun, who said anyone could be on admission bed in the hospital, urged the court to order the police to get the medical report, which he affired, could say the true state of health of the accused.
The presiding Magistrate, Adewumi Makanjuola, insisted that the bench warrant earlier issued on the accused subsists.
The judge ruled that the police should go back to the UCH and get the medical report and report to the court next Friday June 17, date of next adjournment.
