The alleged identity of a police officer who allegedly raped a 17-year-old girl at the Area H Command in the Ogudu area of the state has been revealed.
Recall that the command’s spokesperson, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, said the officer has been detained while denying allegations that the police authority was shielding the suspected rapist. Hundeyin explained that the officer in question had allegedly absconded after the incident but turned himself in on Saturday for questioning. However, some social media users have uncovered the identity and photos of the culprit.
The man has been identified as Owolabi Akinlolu, a 56-year-old Superintendent of Police (SUPOL).

Hundeyin had assured the public that the matter was not being swept under carpet, adding that the state Commissioner of Police, Mr Adegoke Fayoade, had ordered the Gender Unit of the command to immediately investigate the case.
