The Zone 2 Police Command headquarters in Onikan, Lagos has detained an Investigating Police Officer (IPO) attached to the Isheri-Oshun Division for allegedly doctoring a case file and medical report related to a sexual assault case against a local hotelier.
According to Mr Adegoke Fayoade, the Assistant Inspector General (AIG) of Police in charge of Zone 2, the IPO allegedly altered the case file and doctor’s report concerning allegations that the hotelier had anal sex with multiple teenage students at his hotel in Isheri-Oshun. The hotelier allegedly threatened the students not to reveal the abuse or they would die.
After the suspect was detained, his lawyer claimed they had previously reported the case to Zone 2 for investigation. However, when police retrieved the case file from a unit within Zone 2, they discovered it had been doctored.
“The confessional statement made at Isheri Osun Division by another teenager, who suffered the same fate and reports from doctors at Mirable Center at the General Hospital, Ikeja, Lagos, were doctored,” a police source told the News Agency of Nigeria.
On the AIG’s orders, detectives from the Zonal Oracle unit led by CSP Uba launched a further investigation at the Isheri Osun Police Station. The IPO who delivered the altered report allegedly confessed to removing some statements from the case file. The hidden statements were recovered, including a detailed account from a second victim along with documented evidence.
