Police Commissioner’s Aide Arraigned For Raping Woman to Coma
Stephen Aji, an aide of the Commissioner of Police, Railway Police Command in Lagos has been arraigned for raping a woman to coma at the chief magistrate court sitting in Ebute-Meta.
According to Punch, the police corporal had tricked the lady, identified as Yeni, into the police barracks and had sex with her. He was said to have wanted another round of sex and when the victim turned down, he allegedly assaulted her until she passed out, and still forced himself on her.
Sources said when the matter got to the attention of the police authorities, Aji was dismissed and handed over for prosecution. However, on the morning he was to be arraigned for the crime, a powerful police officer ordered the suspension of the proceeding and his release.
A police source said,
“The mother of the corporal (Aji) is a CSP working at the Force Headquarters, Abuja. His father, who was also a police officer, is dead. He was their only son. But he had a disagreement with his mother, which caused bad blood between them and they stopped communicating.
When his mother heard about the rape case and that he had been dismissed and was about to be arraigned, she ran to meet her boss, a Deputy Inspector General of Police to intervene. It was the DIG that called the police in Lagos to suspend the arraignment and release him.
But when you started investigating the story and contacted the Railway CP, it caused panic. He quickly called the DIG in Abuja and said his job was at stake as The PUNCH was interested in the case. He got instruction to re-arrest the corporal.”
Our correspondent was told that the Railway command called Aji to come for his uniform, which was seized, as he was being considered for a pardon. Upon reporting at the headquarters, the Commissioner of Police was said to have asked him to proceed to the EBJ Area Command were he was re-arrested and detained.
He was arraigned on two counts of rape and assault to which he pleaded not guilty. He was remanded in Ikoyi Prison pending the ruling on his bail application.
The case was adjourned till February 18, 2016.
