The nurse is my girlfriend and we have dated for eight years. How would I rape someone I have been sleeping with for 8 years? -Dr Ayodele laments

The Chief Medical Director of Ayodele Hospital, Ilorin, Kwara State, Dr Ayodele Joseph, has said the female nurse he was accused of sedating and raping is his girlfriend.

Ayodele was reportedly performing an operation on the nurse in his hospital when the incident occurred.

“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 police boss said the medical doctor would be sued to court for rape at the conclusion of ongoing investigation.

However, Joseph, while denying the allegation, said the nurse was his girlfriend.

The doctor, who said the nurse was his employee and had been his girlfriend for eight years, described the allegation of rape as a set-up.

Joseph said, “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 of 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 wants to collect more.”
