Opening his defence before Justice Oyejide Falola in a rape case involving him and the ex-corps member, the traditional ruler insisted that the lady was his lover and they engaged in sexual intercourse willingly whenever they desired it.
The traditional ruler of Ilowa-Ijesa in Obokun local government area of Osun State, who has been standing trial for alleged rape, has denied vehemently that he never forced the lady to bed, adding that the intercourse that was being referred to was not their first time of making love and that they always enjoyed the act.
The monarch, who was slammed with a count charge of having carnal knowledge of the ex-corps member that served in his domain in 2011, also told the presiding judge that the victim was his lover and that they usually had sexual intercourse both in his palace and his private residence in Osogbo where the incident allegedly took place.
