The celebrated Ghanaian comedian, Samuel Kwadwo Buabeng, popularly known as Bishop Bob Okala is in the grips of the Police for allegedly defiling a 9-year-old girl at Apedwa in the Eastern Region.Police sources told Daily Guide that Bishop Okala, aged 51, was arrested over the weekend at Apedwa but was transferred to the Kyebi Police Station because the Apedwa station had no cells.Bishop Okala, who shot to fame by regularly featuring on the Concert Party Show held at the National Theater in Accra, was reported to have defiled the young girl under the pretext of engaging her services for a comedy show he was to stage.Reports said when Okala was arrested his alleged victim was found with him and that the issue was still under police investigation.This is the second time Bob Okala, a native of Akim Oda in the Eastern Region, had been arrested for a defilement related case.In June 2003, he was remanded in prison custody by the Sunyani Circuit Court for allegedly defiling a 15-year-old girl at Nkoranza in the Brong Ahafo region.The Judge who presided over the case then, Justice Kofi Debrah, had described it as a serious one that needed to be given an expeditious attention.The matter gained national attention when the Police Inspector handling the case, Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) Alex Yartey Tawiah revealed that Bob Okala had lured the 15-year-old girl into a hotel room and forcefully had sex with her.The victim had gone to watch a comedy show which Bob Okala featured in, and after the show, the comedian lured the innocent girl into his hotel room.Bob Okala was reported to have bought some boiled eggs and asked the victim to send them to his room where he forcibly had sex with her and upon realizing that the victim had reported the incident, he bolted at dawn the next day.ASP Tawiah disclosed further that the victim later fell ill and told her mother what B0b Okala had done to her.He said the case was reported to the police and reports of a medical examination conducted on her stated that there was an old scar of hymen, bleeding from the uterus, vaginal and vulva injury.”
Bishop Bob Okala, by then, pleaded not guilty to the two counts of indecent assault and defilement and he was granted bail in the sum of ¢ 150 million (GH¢15,000), with a surety, after the victim had failed to appear in court.
