Just like his daughter, father of the teenager has also come out to say he does not have interest in the case anymore.Adesola said he had discovered that, “There were a few misconception and misunderstanding along the line between my daughter and the commissioner.

“Having discovered this, I deem it fit to inform the public and the international community that this matter should be laid to rest.

“As the father to Melojuekun Barakat, I want to appeal to the public, the international community and the media that I don’t have interest in this matter again.

“I am withdrawing my case and I want them to support me the same way they did in the beginning of this matter,” the father pleaded.

OgunToday reports that Hon. Abiodun Abudu-Balogun had on Saturday denied the allegation leveled against him by a 16 year old girl over alleged sexual harassment.

Abudu-Balogun explained that he never made any attempt to sexually harassed the girl. 

“My attention has been drawn to a purported video circulating on social media of a girl alleging that I attempted to sexually harrass her. 

“Let it be noted that in my entire life and political career, I have assisted many youth to secure jobs, some are working with me in my different businesses. 

“On this said day, the girl was brought to my house by one of my loyalists who is her Uncle, to assist her get a job as a Computer Operator at the ICT Centre I facilitated while I was serving as a member of House of Representatives years back which has been moribund.

” But I am about to rehabilitate in order to empower more youths in our local government. 

“I met her at my sitting room for few minutes where many of my loyalists are, people that came to visit me for the New Year. I chatted with the lady for few minutes and as part of my usual gesture, I gave her some amount of money for her transportation. 

“A day after, I was informed by some people that I have been alleged to have attempted to sexually harrass the girl and I should invite the family for a meeting so as to settle the matter amicably.

” It was after my refusal to yield to their threats that they went ahead to make a teleguided video leading the lady on what to say to implicate me. This is purely a political blackmail by my adversaries. 

“Let me state emphatically that I never attempted to sexually harrass anyone.

“I therefore plead with my fans and loyalists to be calm and not engage anyone on the said matter as it is been handled by the police and my legal team.
