Police Commissioner’s Aide Accused Of Flogging, Raping Lady To Coma Inside Barracks

An aide to the Commissioner of Police, Railway Command,
Lagos State, identified as Agu, has been arrested for allegedly raping and
beating a lady until she fell into a coma.

Punch Metro gathered that the incident happened inside the
policeman’s apartment in the Railway Police Barracks. It was learnt that
31-year-old Agu had tricked the victim, identified as Yeni, into the barracks.
He was said to have had s3x with her, which the victim submitted to. Later at
night, he allegedly woke her up for another round of s3x, which Yeni refused. The
duo were said to have struggled, but the suspect allegedly overpowered her. He
was said to have assaulted and raped her.

The victim reportedly passed out.

The police authorities were said to have arrested Agu, made
him to face an orderly-room trial and dismissed him from the force. A police
source told our correspondent that the incident happened on Sunday. It was
learnt that the suspect, who was married with a kid, had separated from his
wife. The source said, “He had a habit of sleeping with all kinds of women. His
wife separated from him due to his infidelity. Last Sunday, he saw the lady on
the road and spoke to her. She agreed to the friendship and he invited her to
his apartment. We learnt that they had s3x, though the lady said she was initially
against it. After the s3x, they both fell asleep, but the policeman woke her up
for another round of s3x and she refused. Agu hit her with some objects. He flogged
her till she sustained serious injuries which made her fell into a coma. He
still had his way with her. It was the following morning that the police
authorities in the barracks were informed and he was arrested.”

The source, who claimed to have been in the room, said the
floor was dotted with Yeni’s blood. It was learnt that while Agu was detained
at the EBJ Police Area Command, the victim was rushed to the Federal Medical
Centre, where she was resuscitated and treated.

Another police source said the Railway command conducted an
orderly-room trial for the suspect and he was dismissed. He said, “Some
policemen followed him to his room and collected his uniform and other police
property in his custody. He was then handed over to the police for
prosecution.”

Punch Metro was told that investigations had been concluded
and the suspect was about to be arraigned when the detectives got a call to
cancel the arraignment.bA source said, “The detectives were done with
investigations and he was to be taken to court when they were told to let go of
the matter. As if that was not enough, he was released and he is back in the
barracks.”

Punch Metro visited the EBJ Area Command, but was told the
area commander was not available. Our correspondent was referred to the police
headquarters. On arriving at the Nigeria Railway Police Command Headquarters,
he was directed to the office of the CP, Pius Imue.

However, an aide, who enquired on how our correspondent got
to know about the case, said the CP said he would not react.

He said, “Who gave you the story? I am interested in knowing
because I don’t know how you heard such a thing. The CP said he does not want
to talk about it.”

However, a police source in the command, confirmed the story.
He said the victim was still going to the FMC for medication, adding that she
sustained injuries in different parts of her body.

She said, “The girl was truly admitted in the hospital, but
she was discharged the same day. Her injuries were minor. She was only hurt in
her legs, buttocks, and the forehead.”
