CYRIACUS IZUEKWE

Police officers were shocked after they discovered that their colleague’s 9-year old girl was brutally and forcefully raped by one of them inside the barracks in Lagos.

P.M.EXPRESS reports that the incident happened at Makinde Police barracks located at Mafoluku in Oshodi, Lagos, where they resided.

The 38-year old Mohammed Alidu was attached to the Makinde Police Division after he was transferred to the Lagos Command from Ibadan in Oyo State. He reportedly left his wife and children and got an accommodation where he reportedly perpetrated the act.

It was gathered that the suspect, Mr. Alidu, returned early from duty at about 1.30pm when he knew that the parents of the victim will not be around. He reportedly lured her, forcefully penetrated and injured her private before he allowed her to go.
However, the victim who was said to have been traumatized by Alidu’s action informed her parents about what happened and showed them the injury she sustained due to the forceful penetration.
She was taken to the hospital for treatment while the matter was reported to the Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Mr. Edgal Imohimi, who directed the Gender Section of the Command to investigate the matter. Thus, Mr. Alidu was arrested and detained at the Command for interrogation where the parties were invited for investigation.

P.M.EXPRESS scooped that the police found Mr. Alidu culpable and charged him before the Ogba Magistrates court for defilement of the minor.
The case of defilement was felony which attracted long sentence up to 10 years if the defendant was tried and found guilty.
When the defendant was arraigned, the prosecutor, Supol Christopher John, informed the court that Mr. Alidu defied the victim who was a minor and then injured her private part due to forceful penetration.
The Presiding Magistrate, Mr. Peter Nwaka, denied him bail and did not take his plea either.
The court ordered the prosecutor to duplicate the file and send to DPP for advice while the defendant will remain in custody pending the outcome of the DPP advice.
The matter was adjourned till 17th September, 2018.
