The Lagos State Police Command has arrested a Divisional Police Officer, Mr. Oladipo Afolayan, for allegedly raping a woman in his office. This new development is coming a few months after another DPO in the state, Mr. Adekunle Awe, was arrested for allegedly raping a woman, Idowu Akinwunmi, in his office at the Onikan Police Division.
According to reports, Afolayan, who is a Superintendent of Police, was posted recently to the Magodo Police Post when the rape incident allegedly occurred. The victim, who was a suspect, was said to have been raped during an ongoing investigation. Following the rape, the victim reported the matter to the authorities, and Afolayan was subsequently arrested and taken to the Commissioner of Police, Cornelius Aderanti. The Commissioner also reported the matter to the Assistant Inspector General of Police, Zone 2 Command, Mr. Umar Manko, following which the matter was transferred to the X Squad (a department at the state command which is in charge of investigating police crimes and misdemeanours). The X Squad after taking his statement, transferred the DPO and the case file to the State Criminal Investigation Department, SCID, for further investigation. Policemen at the Magodo Police Post on Thursday, refused to comment on the matter. The Police Public Relations Officer in Lagos, Mr. Kenneth Nwosu, confirmed that the police were investigating the matter. He 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.”
