Justice Oyejide Falola of the Osun State High Court sitting in Ikirun on Tuesday discharged and acquitted the Alowa of Ilowa Ijesa, Oba Adebukola Alli, over a charge of raping an NYSC member.
.
Delivering judgment, Falola said that the plaintiff, Miss Helen Okpara, failed to tender enough exhibits to convince the court beyond reasonable doubt that she was raped by the monarch.
.
The judge also held that the plaintiff, who accused the monarch of raping her at his private residence in Osogbo, failed to prove that she was raped.
.
He said a case of rape could only be established with exhibits such as bed sheet, the victim's pant and a medical report indicating forceful penetration, adding that the prosecutor failed to tender all these.
.
Falola said Okpara also failed to show the bruises on her private part as evidence that she was raped.
