“What else do I want to see in her body?” Kwara Doctor Denies Rape Allegations on Patient
Chief Medical Director of Ayodele Hospital, Ilorin, Kwara State, Dr. Ayodele Joseph, has denied rape allegations levied against him by a patient, claiming the victim is his girlfriend and there is nothing else to see in her body.
The Kwara doctor maintained that he dated the lady for eight years, sponsored her through her nursing school, and above all had several sexual intercourse with her while debunking the rape.
“She is my girlfriend and we have dated for eight years. I trained her as a nurse; I sponsored her to a school of nursing in Lagos and I employed her. How can I rape a lady that I have had intercourse with several times?
“What else do I want to see in her body? She only wanted to set me up to rip me off some money. Already, she has collected a substantial amount of money, which is with her. She has already collected about N500,000 from me on this issue and she is still demanding more money.” He said.
But, according to the police report, Dr. Ayodele allegedly sedated the patient, who is a professional nurse, and eventually had sexual intercourse without her consent.
“On May 5, 2023, a female victim (name withheld), a nurse by profession, reported to the police that she went to Ayodele Hospital at 290, Sawmill area, Lagos Road, Ilorin, for surgery.
“The Chief Medical Director of the hospital, Dr Ayodele Joseph, during the treatment, sedated the patient, which led her to become unconscious.
“Before the sedation, fearing any mishap, the patient activated her telephone and placed it in a vantage position to record the surgery unknown to the doctor before the expected surgery.
“She woke up from sleep after the surgery to find herself fully naked, and when viewing the recorded video, she discovered that the said Dr Ayodele Joseph had unlawful sexual intercourse with her while under sedation.
“Investigation led to the recovery of the video recording of the sexual action of the said doctor on the victim, which was also corroborated by the medical examination conducted on the victim.”
The State Commissioner of Police, Paul Odama, added that the suspect had earlier been arraigned for causing the death of one Nneka Akanike in his hospital.
He noted that the leadership of the state branch of the Nigeria Medical Association (NMA) had been reached on the recent case, and security officers had been deployed to barricade the hospital premises.
Odama, while reacting to Ayodele’s claim that the nurse was only trying to set him up and siphon money from him, said the medical doctor would be sued in court for rape after the ongoing investigation.
