How I Was Raped By A Police Officer

A Woman identified as Gladys in one of the town in Lagos state, has shared a sad experience on how she was allegedly raped by a Nigerian security officer after visiting her son in prison.

She said she'd left her residence in Ikorodu, to visit her son in Kirikiri prison upon hearing that he's arrested.

 The 20-year-old son had been convicted of murder at the State High Court. 

She further said she couldn't return home later that night so she decided to stay at the police barracks, believing it is a safe place to spend the night.

She stated that she had requested permission from the police to sleep at the barracks and return home the following morning. However, during the night, an officer snuck into her room after she was allowed to stay.

The police officer, who was later identified and arrested, entered the room where Gladys was sleeping, handcuffed her hands to the bed, and allegedly raped her forcefully. When she tried to raise an alarm, he reportedly threatened her, claiming that no one would hear her no matter how loud she screamed.

According to Gladys, the officer sexually assaulted her twice and inflicted injuries to her genital area. She tearfully pleaded for justice, urging the police to arrest the officer and ensure he faces the consequences of his actions.
