Helen dragged the Oba to court three years ago after claiming he sexually abused her. However, The Osun State High Court sitting in Ikirun on Tuesday stated that the plaintiff, Miss Helen Okpara, failed to tender enough exhibits to convince the court beyond reasonable doubt that she was molested by the monarch.

The judge also held that the plaintiff, who accused the monarch of molesting her at his private residence in Osogbo, failed to prove that she was molested. He explained an instance of rape could only be established with exhibits such as for example:

    bed sheet
    the victim's pant and 
    a medical report indicating forceful penetration. 

Adding that the prosecutor failed to tender most of the above. Okpara also failed to exhibit the bruises on her behalf private part as evidence that she was molested, the judge said. He further said the prosecutor failed to exhibit to the court the plaintiff's torn clothes as she had claimed in her submissions prior to the court. While stressing that the case of rape must be proved with injuries sustained on the private part as well as the rest of the human body, Falola said the court was not convinced that Okpara sustained any injury.

Falola said the court could establish the truth that Okpara and the monarch have been having regular sexual relationship before a misconception ensued between them.
He, however, condemned such relationship involving a traditional ruler, saying his action had brought his stool into disrepute as well as disgrace to his family and community.

Gun control is more than a political issue for President Obama. The commander-in-chief, in a picture snapped last August, showed his mastery of a shotgun while skeet shooting during a Camp David getaway.  

  The White House released the photo Saturday, possibly to muzzle critics who suggested Obama was posturing when he talked about target shooting in an interview with The New Republic magazine.

  The picture of Obama shows him with a literally smoking gun, its barrel pressed against his left shoulder as he pulls the trigger. It was taken on his 51st birthday.  Obama spokesman Jay Carney had no comment Saturday on the timing of the photo’s release, just two days before Obama heads to Minneapolis to discuss his gun control proposals with local law enforcement officials.
