Police Arrest ASP ‘Who Raped’ Teenager Inside Lagos Police Station

An Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) simply identified as Owolabi, has been arrested for allegedly defiling a 17-year old girl in the Ojota area of Lagos.

The officer was alleged to have had carnal knowledge of the girl in his office at Ojota Police Station.

His arrest followed a referral letter dated July 1, 2024, and addressed to the Commissioner of Police, Adegoke Fayoade, by the Lagos State Domestic and Sexual Violence Agency.

Based on the referral letter, the Commissioner of Police ordered for immediate investigation into the matter.

Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer, Benjamin Hundeyin, who confirmed the arrest said the Command has placed under arrest one of its personnel accused of defiling a 17-year old girl.

Hundeyin, on his X handle said the Commissioner of Police, Lagos State Command, has also, directed a full-scale and thorough investigation into the allegation.

“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” he said

The  mother of the victim, Mrs Aramide Olupona, who had accused the Police of cover up, alleging that her daughter began bleeding a day following the assault she suffered in the hands of the officer was taken to the Mirabel Centre, where it was confirmed that her daughter had been defiled.

“The suspect’s wife and the rest of his family have come to my shop to plead with me saying he would soon retire, but what about my daughter that was raped? Is it because I am a poor woman?

“The Area Commander of the station too invited me and pleaded with me to bury the case, now they are saying the suspect has fled and his whereabouts are unknown”. she added.
