ARRESTED: ASP Allegedly Rapes Student In His House And Office

An Assistant Superintendent of Police has been accused of rape by the female victim, Oluwaseun who is a student of the Federal College of Education.

According to PUNCH Metro; Mafoya was arrested after some students of the college reported the matter at the Odeda Police Division. The case was afterwards transferred to the state command headquarters, Eleweran, Abeokuta.

Our correspondent gathered that on Thursday, April 30, policemen from the Osiele post arrested Oluwaseun for her involvement in a mob attack on a serving member of the National Youth Service Corps in the college, identified only as Oladimeji.

The attack by students was reportedly carried out on the NYSC member because he allegedly made sexual advances at a female student, who had visited him in his apartment in the Abule Obantoko area of Abeokuta.

Our correspondent learnt that the ASP allegedly took over the case and ordered Oluwaseun’s detention.

It was gathered that at about 7pm on the same day, he was said to have driven the victim to his house in the Alanco area where he allegedly raped her.

A source at the FCE, Osiele, said Oluwaseun was “traumatised” to talk about her ordeal until the Commissioner of Police summoned both parties to a meeting.

He said, “After raping Oluwaseun in his house, Mafoya brought her victim back to the police post at about 10.30pm, where he again raped her in his office. He then returned her to the cell. It was the girl’s colleagues who raised N3,000 for her bail the following day.

“She, however, did not discuss her experience with anyone because she was traumatised. The only thing she did was to cleverly record the conversations she had with the police officer on her mobile phone. Such matter would have died naturally, but it was a policeman at the same police post who gave her the courage to speak up and expose the ASP.

“They reported the rape at the Odeda Police Division and when the CP learnt about it, he ordered a detailed investigation. This was what brought Mafoya and Oluwaseun together again at the CP’s instance.

“On Monday, May 11, the two persons were brought into the CP’s office. After their explanations, the CP ordered the arrest of the ASP, while investigations continued on the matter.”

Our correspondent learnt that Mafoya allegedly had an unresolved petition of rape against him involving another student of the college.

The student, who was said to be in the Department of Economics and Political Science, was allegedly raped by Mafoya last year.

The victim’s father was said to have written a petition to the Ogun State CP, in which he claimed that Mafoya allegedly hid his daughter in his office and forcefully had a carnal knowledge of her.

The Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Muyiwa Adejobi, confirmed the allegation, adding that the police were still investigating the matter.

He said, “The officer was not detained. There was an allegation of such against him, and he was called to answer to it. The police are still investigating the matter.”
