HUMAN rights defender, Prince Wiro, on Wednesday charged
the Police Command in Rivers State to investigate and
prosecute its personnel accused of raping a woman for breach
of COVID-19 protocol.
The victim, a 32-year-old widow, said a policeman attached to
the Sakpenwa Police Division, Tai Local Government Area,
allegedly abducted her Tuesday to a guest house where he
raped her at gunpoint after arresting her for not wearing a nose
mask.
She narrated: “I was returning from Bori to Port Harcourt when I
met some police officers at a checkpoint. They arrested me for
not wearing a nose mask. They kept me long there with them.
“Thereafter they carried me from one place to the other,
claiming they want to take me to the police station, but never
took me to any police station.
“After some time, they took me to a guest house where one of
them raped me till dawn. His name is Inspector Peter Iba of
Sakpenwa Police Station.”
Prince Wiro, in response to the allegations, demanded the Police
Command in the state to, “Open immediate investigation into the
alleged rape of this woman by a serving officer.
“There is no justification for the punishment of rape to be meted
out to a woman because she flouted Rivers State Government
order on the use of nose masks. I expect the police to take this
matter seriously.
“You know there’s a recent order from the Inspector General of
Police charging every Command to do everything possible to
make rape a thing of the past in the society.”
The victim had on the spur-of-the-moment on Tuesday raised
alarm in a text message posted on a WhatsApp media platform
where she lamented, “I have been taken to a guess house just
because of N100 face mask.
“I can’t believe this is happening to me. He wants to sleep with
me. I am dying. He wouldn’t let me pick any call. He threatened
to seize my phone.”
The Police Command in the state reacting to the allegation
through the Police Public Relations Officer, Rivers Command,
Nnamdi Omoni, said: “After hearing about this, we immediately
invited the lady. After hearing from her, she made a written
statement and Investigation has commenced.”

Churches and mosques are one of the reason there are crime everywhere.....what is the impact of the church/mosque in the development of the Country?

Religion is killing Africa/Nigeria

With the way things are going, am beginning to think naija will be the modern day Sodom that will get the most hit of destruction

Religion isnt the problem dude, rather our greed and laziness, we love to be wealthy and to display our influence but we are nit ready to do the necessary work thats the problem. Even if you say nobody should go to church, mosque or shrines nothing would change till we learn to use our head.

you did not blaim your government that's constitutionally responsible for every citizen in this country, but religious leaders, what can they do on their own.

your government has since closed the church & mosque & what has that improve in our society, since you always attributes every Nigeria problem to religion

No body is saying you should not go to church or whatever, The thing is what are they teaching you in the church? If the churches that are supposed to be preaching salvation, righteousness, moral behaviors etc.... Have divieted to prosperity/get rich quick gospel?..... People now seeking for imaginary miracle instead of using their time/brain to work?

The society and the character of people are formed by what we see around us.....
If people are greedy it means it's what it's obtained in the society........

The wickedness in the black man is the real issue

Yea but even with the prosperity gospel you say, I dont think any pastor would tell his congregation to go home and sleep manna would fall from heaven into their accounts, which is a plain lie. Even if that happens, the congregation would know its a false teaching if they study their Bible personally.
Like you say we are "subconciously" wicked to ourselves thats why slave trade was a big business, and has today metamorphosed into human traficking, child labour, looting and stealing. Religion is supposed to discourage that wickedness and that is its usefulness.

It's not MADNESS, It's called MADNESS, although some will call it MADNESS, but the real spelling is MADNESS of our Police.
