DPO accused of rape granted bail.

The Divisional Police Officer in charge of Onikan
Station, SP Adekunle Awe, accused of having sex
with a woman detained at the station (read

granted bail yesterday after spending three days in detention.
According to reports, this is not the first time
DPO Awe would be accused of demanding sex
from a woman in police custody. Hopefully it will
be his last.
Meanwhile the IG of Police, Mohammed
Abubakar, has ordered a discreet investigation
into the allegation and has instructed that the
police make their findings known to the Public.
Seven police officers, including the DPO, who
were present on the night of the incident, had
been arrested but five of them were let off the
hook as they were able to prove they were not
aware of the DPO's act and so did not act as
accomplices.
