The Edo State Police Command has launched an investigation into the shocking action of a woman Inspector, who allegedly demanded a bribe of N1,000,000.00 from a sergeant to continue to conceal his crime of bringing a 17 years old suspect from a cell to rape her.
According to a Situation Report sighted by securitynewsalert.com, the suspect, who was arrested for receiving stolen property, was shocked when the sergeant, identified as Abraham Uzuobor with Force Number 504694, suddenly came and unlocked the cell, and dragged her out.
He took her to the admin-office, which was void of any occupant at that hour and then swooped on her.
Incidentally, while Uzuobor was venting his sexual urges on the detainee, AP/No. 228719 W/Inspector, Edith Eduma, who is the Charge Room Officer (CRO), who is the person in charge of counter duty who keeps records and attends to complaints on that fateful day, realized that she could the cell key was no longer with her.
She quickly rushed to the cell, where she noticed that the female suspect had disappeared from the holding facility.
It was in the process of looking for her, fearing that she had escaped, that she stumbled on Uzuobor raping the girl.
The woman Inspector, who discovered Uzuobor sexually abusing the suspect, rather than reporting to the appropriate authority, allegedly started blackmailing him.
Eduma earlier collected N45,000 from Uzuobor to conceal the crime, however, the following day she demanded for additional N1m.
Before taking the bold steps to start extorting the perpetrator, Eduma alerted her husband who is a policeman and two other policemen. It was after discussing with these policemen that she collected the first N45,000.
The SITREP states: On the 10th of October 2024 at about 9:pm, F/No. 504694 Sergeant Abraham Uzuobor removed a female suspect (names withheld), who is 17 years old from the cell.
“He took her to the admin office, where he had canal knowledge of her. The Charge Room Officer, who noticed the cell key was not with her, rushed to the cell and discovered the suspect detained for receiving stolen property was not in the cell.
“She subsequently went to the admin office where she caught the sergeant in the act and recorded the incident.
“The Charge Room Officer (CRO) AP/No. 228719 W/Inspector Edith Eduma refused to inform the Divisional Police Officer (DPO) or the Incident Duty Officer.
“Rather she called her husband, and two others who are policemen and then collected the sum of N45,000 from the sergeant to conceal the crime.
“On the 11th of October 2024, at about 4:am, she called the sergeant again to either pay her an additional one million naira or she would post the video on social media.
“Both officers are currently detained and have been defaulted, now undergoing orderly room trials at area command.”
