A 17-year-old resident of Lagos State has been reportedly raped inside Ogudu Police Station in the Ojota area of the state.
According to PUNCH, an officer attached to the station had promised to help the teenager retrieve her phone, which was stolen by ‘one chance’ robbers.
The suspect was said to have overheard the victim recounting her ordeal to her mother at her shop and offered to help track the phone.
Narrating her ordeal to the publication, the teenager said: “On June 29, officer Owolabi called my mum on her phone and told her he had arrested the person with my phone and my mum should send me to his police station and I went there. On getting there, I was told they made a mistake with the tracking, and that the person caught wasn’t the one with my phone.
“The officer sent his personal assistant to call me into his office and he showed me directions there. When I entered his office and greeted him, he replied and got up to lock the door and put the key in his pocket. I shouted, ‘Sir, why did you lock the door?’
“He started trying to pull my clothes off and I shouted, then he brought out a gun, cocked it, and threatened to shoot me if I shouted. Then he began harassing me and when I struggled with him he hit me on the back of my head with the gun and raped me.
“I saw his phone ringing and the caller was my mum, but he told me since I didn’t have a phone with me, I should tell her I didn’t get to his office and from now on I should be reporting at his office by 12 pm every day during school break or while returning from school that he had been watching me for two years and now I just fell into his trap.”
Mrs Aramide Olupona, mother of the victim, however, accused the police of trying to cover up the allegation.
