Lagos policeman allegedly demands sex from widow as bail condition
A widow, Mrs Adebukola Mowette has accused a policeman attached to the Ilaje Police Division in Bariga, Lagos of demanding sex before he would grant her bail.
Mowette was detained on June 25, after a fight with a man.
Mowette alleged that the policeman identified as Egi fondled her breast and asked her for sex in exchange for bail, insisting that he would ensure she rots in jail if his demands were not met.
She said that the policeman told her she was in for a hard time after she rebuffed his love advances. She said he rained curses on her and also poured water on her through the cell’s ventilation holes.
“I told him I will not sleep with him even if he was the last man on earth. This got him angry and he started pouring water through those holes and said he would pour urine too,” Mowette said.
“After some hours, he brought me out that I should come and write my statement. I told him I will not writing anything because I do not know what he wanted me to write.
“He then pressed my breasts and said is this what you are doing shakara with.”
Police Commissioner in the state, Imohimi Edgal has asked the Gender Unit of the Command to conduct a discreet investigation into the case.
