A-United Kingdom based Nigerian music-rapper, Olawale Hassan, Popularly known as Goldie 1, has been sentenced to 10 Years imprisonment for raping a woman in 2017.

By his irresponsible behaviour,  Hassan has brought shame upon himself and his family, as well as hard-working Nigerians living in the United  Kingdom.

According to the British Broadcasting Corporation, BBC, the 33-year-old, who lives at Falcon Avenue, Grays, Essex, attacked the victim in Southend in 2017, after claiming he was a music producer, Police officers said.

However, during his trial, he denied the three counts of Rape and one charge of assault by penetration.

Essex Police  described him as “manipulative and calculated”.

Detective Constable Victoria De’ath, of the force, praised the woman, in her 20s, for her “courage” in reporting the attack.

It was gathered that Hassan targeted the woman while she was out with a friend in February 2017. She turned down his requests for her number and to accompany him to his hotel room before he promised to get her home safely after her friend left.

Instead, he parked his car on the seafront and locked its doors when she tried to flee, before attacking and raping her.

He later took her home after the incident, and the woman called the police to report the incident.

The Judge sentenced him to a-10 year  jail term.
