Ogun
state police Command has arrested an Assistant Superintendent of Police, Osiele
Police Post, Abeokuta, Ogun State, John Mafoya , for allegedly raping a student
of the Federal College of Education, Osiele, identified simply as Oluwaseun.
According to report, it was gathered that, on Thursday, April 30, policemen from the Osiele post arrested Oluwaseun for her involvement in a mob attack on a serving member of the National Youth Service Corps in the college, identified only as Oladimeji because he allegedly made sexual advances at a female student, who had visited him in his apartment in the Abule Obantoko area of Abeokuta.
According to report, it was gathered that, on Thursday, April 30, policemen from the Osiele post arrested Oluwaseun for her involvement in a mob attack on a serving member of the National Youth Service Corps in the college, identified only as Oladimeji because he allegedly made sexual advances at a female student, who had visited him in his apartment in the Abule Obantoko area of Abeokuta.
The ASP allegedly took
over the case and detained Oluwaseun, however, rather than
interrogate her at the Police station, he allegedly drove
her to his house in the Alanco area at about 7pm and that was
where he allegedly raped her.
However, after this
ordeal, Oluwaseun kept mum about it until the Commissioner of
Police invited both of them to a meeting.
He said, “After raping
Oluwaseun in his house, Mafoya brought his victim back to the police post at
about 10.30pm, where he again raped her in his office. He then returned her to
the cell. It was the girl’s colleagues who raised N3,000 for her bail the
following day.
“She, however, did not
discuss her experience with anyone because she was traumatised. The only thing
she did was to cleverly record the conversations she had with the police
officer on her mobile phone. Such matter would have died naturally, but it was
a policeman at the same police post who gave her the courage to speak up and
expose the ASP.
“They reported the rape at
the Odeda Police Division and when the CP learnt about it, he ordered a
detailed investigation. This was what brought Mafoya and Oluwaseun together
again at the CP’s instance.
“On Monday, May 11, the
two persons were brought into the CP’s office. After their explanations, the CP
ordered the arrest of the ASP, while investigations continued on the matter.”
