Obafemi Kolawole, one of the chieftain of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), in Ilesa, has been sentenced to life imprisonment with whipping for raping a pregnant female member of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Premium Times reports.

Kolawole was alleged to had on September 15, 2007, raped Tosin Ajakaye, an Action Congress of Nigeria (now All Progressives Congress) member who was pregnant as at the time of the incident.


The PDP chieftain was charged before the State High Court sitting at Ilesa, on a two-count charge of rape and indecent assault after the 2007 gubernatorial election in Osun State.

The victim said Kolawole shaved her pubic hair, put it in her mouth to swallow with dry gin, and thereafter went ahead to insert a tin opener into her vagina and as well poured dry gin all over her body before raping her again, an allegation Kolawole denied.
