The
31-year‑old Beninoise, identified as Idowu Akinwunmi, works as a sales
girl in a restaurant on Keffi Road, in Ikoyi area of the state.
She was reportedly picked by some policemen from Onikan division, following a complaint lodged by her boss, one Mrs Pelumi Idowu, over an undisclosed reason, at about 1 am. She said she was thrown into the cell on reaching the station.
However, at about 10 pm, Akinwunmi said one Inspector Ajiduwe called her out of the cell and took her to the DPO’s office, where she alleged that the station’s boss forcefully had carnal knowledge of her. According t o her, “He, the DPO, made love to me without a condom, saying he would throw me into prison if I mention the incident to anyone.”
Although the DPO denied raping the detainee, when NOPRIN inquired from him, he reportedly called the man who stood surety for Akinwunmi to come for a refund of the N10,000 bribe for bail they extorted from her after allegedly raping her.

NOPRIN condemns
The
National Coordinator, NOPRIN, Mr Okechukwu Nwanguma who condemned the
rape, said: “NOPRIN condemns the attempt by some police officers at Area
A Command, Lion Building to block the victim from lodging a complaint
of the rape with the Area Commander and collecting a police report to go
for medical examination.” At the command level, Vanguard
gathered that the state command frowned at the allegation and had
commenced investigation to ascertain the DPO’s alleged culpability. If
found guilty, the DPO, said to have put in about 25 years in service,
would face disciplinary action. Already, the Command’s boss, Umar Manko,
had reportedly summoned the parties involved to the command for
interrogation as at 3 pm, yesterday. Spokesperson for the command, Ngozi
Braide, however, could not state whether the allegation was true or
false but told Vanguard that investigation at the end of the day would prove that, adding: “It is an allegation and we are taking it very serious.” How I was raped — Akinwunmi Narrating her ordeal, Akinwunmi, told Vanguard:
“I was arrested because my madam told the police that I allowed one
Friday, a customer pass the night in the restaurant. Two relatives of
one of the tailors employed by my madam who came on a visit were also
arrested. “I am from Cotonou in Benin Republic. I am a mother of two and
I have been working for Ms Pelumi for about 10 months now. I have done
nothing to deserve this kind of treatment. Is it because I am a
foreigner that I would be abused without protection? Nigerians should
give me justice. I demand justice for this wrong that has been done to
me. “While at the station, I pleaded with one of the police women to
allow me take my bath since I have not been allowed to do so since I was
arrested and she agreed. “On my way to the bathroom, I met the DPO for
the first time. He asked if I was Idowu and I said yes. He then asked
why I chose to violate my boss’ rules and I told him it was a mistake.
“At about 10pm, one Inspector Ajiduwe took me out of the cell to the
DPO, apparently for debriefing on the case. “Immediately the Inspector
left the office, the DPO started touching me. When I asked him to stop,
he said my boss said they should do anything they liked to me. “He
threatened to shoot me and send me and those arrested with me to jail,
if I refused to allow him make love to me and that he would release all
of us if I gave in. “He, thereafter, took me into the inner room in his
office. I began to plead with him to use a condom but he refused and
forced himself on me . “When he finished, he told me to wash myself in
the bathroom which I did. After that, he sent me back to the cell, with a
promise that I would be released. “But when my relatives came to effect
our bail, they paid N30,000 for five of us. As we were going, the DPO
scribbled his number on a piece of paper and gave to me. “Immediately I
left, my relatives took me to the Island Maternity for the necessary
medical tests.”- See more at: http://www.vanguardngr.com/2014/04/dpo-raped-detention-sales-girl/#sthash.0h62IKUZ.dpuf
ABEOKUTA —A suspected ritualist, yesterday, beheaded a two‑year‑old boy and raped his mother in a bush in Ofada town in Obafemi‑Owode Local Government Area of Ogun State.
The suspect, Momodu
Bashir Ibrahim, was said to have trailed the mother, who had her boy strapped
on her back, as she went to ease herself in a bush in the area.
An eye witness told Vanguard
that the victim went into a nearby bush to ease herself, not suspecting that
she was being trailed.
According to the source, the
suspect suddenly pounced on the woman, dragged her along with her baby into an uncompleted
building and raped her.
“The suspect after raping the woman,
stabbed her and killed the boy before he severed his head.
“Luckily, someone, who suspected the
suspect’s movement, trailed him to the building but escaped and was able
to rescue the woman with the headless body of the boy,” the source said.
Confirming the incident, the Police
Public Relations Officer, Muyiwa Adejobi said the suspect was
arrested through the help of some community leaders after he fled the
area to Ibafo after committing the crime.
Adejobi added that further
interrogation of the suspect revealed that he had sold the head of the boy to a
woman in Ibadan, adding that the detectives from the state police command was
on the trail of the suspected buyer and that the command had
commenced investigation into the matter.
The suspect led men from the
Criminal Investigation Department of the state police command to the scene and
the knife with which he perpetrated the act was the only item
found at the scene.
Speaking at the scene of the crime
which was smeared with blood, the suspect confessed to have raped the
woman, killed her son and severed his head which he said he had thrown away
into the bush.
He also informed the detectives that
there was a woman in Ibadan whom he was working with.
Efforts by the detectives to recover
the head of the boy at the scene of the crime, as claimed by the suspect,
proved abortive and an attempt to lynch him by the people of the area was
prevented by the police.
It was learnt that the remains of
the boy has been buried while the mother was responding to treatment in the
hospital.
