A 17-year-old resident of Lagos State was allegedly raped inside Ogudu Police Station in the Ojota area of the state.
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.
The teenager, while narrating her ordeal to the platform, 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 r*ped me.”
