The Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Mr Umar Manko,
yesterday, assured Nigerians that the panel investigating the alleged rape of a
mother of three by Onikan Divisional Police Officer, DPO, in Lagos was working
hard to unravel the truth behind the claims.This is just as the command has
debunked reports that the DPO had been released from custody. Rather, it
maintained that the DPO was still in the cell.
Also the Spokesperson for the Lagos State Police Command,
Ngozi Braide, a Deputy Superintendent of Police,DSP, said: “The DPO is still in
our detention. He is in the cell at Area ‘F’. It is not possible to release a
man with such magnitude of allegation bothering on rape.”Braide said the Police
High Command investigating panel set up to look into the matter has not
submitted its report, arguing that the DPO would not have been released when
the panel has just commenced investigation.
