Lagos State: Police Command Apprehended Officer Accused Of S*Xually Assaulting A 17-Year-Old Girl At The Area H Command

According to reports from Punch, the girl had approached the officer seeking assistance in recovering her stolen phone.

The suspect, identified as Owolabi, reportedly offered to help the teenager after taking her statement. He then allegedly deceived her by falsely claiming that police operatives had apprehended the suspected phone thief.

Subsequently, when the minor visited his office, he allegedly r*ped her at gunpoint.

SP Benjamin Hundeyin, the spokesperson for the police in the state, confirmed the incident in a statement released on Sunday, July 14, 2024. He stated that the command has launched a thorough investigation into the allegations of s*xual assault against the officer.

The Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO) dismissed accusations that the police authority was shielding the suspected r*pist.

“The Lagos State Police Command has placed under arrest one of its personnel accused of defiling a 17-year old girl,” the statement read. “The Commissioner of Police, Lagos State Command, CP Adegoke Fayoade, mni has, meanwhile, directed a full-scale and thorough investigation into the allegation. Hundeyin explained that the officer in question had allegedly absconded after the incident but turned himself in on Saturday for questioning.

“The Command assures the public that there is absolutely no attempt at a cover-up as such hideous acts are at variance with the code of conduct and professional ethics of the Nigeria Police Force. To this end, CP Fayoade once again assures Nigerians that the officer would be dealt with in accordance with police regulations and the law if found culpable.”
