The Lagos State Police Command has arrested a
Divisional Police Officer, SP Oladipo Afolayan,
for allegedly raping a woman in his office. He is
a Superintendent of Police and had only been
recently posted to the Magodo Police Post when
the incident occurred.
It was learnt that the woman he allegedly r*ped
was a suspect in an ongoing investigation. It
was gathered that following a report by the
victim, SP Afolayan was arrested and taken to
the Commissioner of Police in charge of Lagos
State, CP Cornelius Aderanti.
CP Aderanti was said to have also reported the
matter to the Assistant Inspector General of
Police, Zone 2 Command, AIG Umar Manko.
When contacted, the Police Public Relations
Officer, Kenneth Nwosu, said:
"Yes, we are investigating an allegation like that.
As a result of the sensitivity of the matter, it
would be too soon to come to a conclusion. The
stance of the Commissioner of Police is not to
condone any act of indiscipline whether from
the public or from our men.
"Therefore, when investigations are concluded,
and the officer is found culpable, he will be
made to dance to the tune of the law, and if it is
found otherwise, he will be cleared. The press
will be invited and briefed once investigations
are concluded."
