The Akwa Ibom State
Police Command has remained silent over the whereabouts of the police
inspector, who allegedly raped a 15-year-old school girl at gunpoint.
The incident reportedly happened at Iyadiong,
Mkpat Enin Local Government Area of the state.
It was also learnt that the said inspector had
detained the teenage girl after raping her in a nearby bush.
Southern City News
observed that since the incident that occurred on July 16, 2016, the state
Police Command had yet to speak on actions taken on the inspector.
The state Police Public Relations Officer,
Cordelia Nwawe, had earlier in August said that the command was still
investigating the matter.
Nwawe had stated that if the inspector and his
men were found guilty, the police would punish them, just as some Nigerians
continued to demand the arrest and prosecution of the inspector.
One of them, Jerry Emmanuel, said through the
online version of The PUNCH that the action of the inspector was condemnable.
“What a horrible tale from an under-aged girl.
With this sort of policemen, we are all in deep trouble.”
Also, Ajayi Olupono, called on the Inspector
General of Police, Ibrahim Idris, to look into the case urgently, arrest and
prosecute the suspect.
He said, “The helpless
little bleeding girl was taken to the guardroom instead of rushing her to the
hospital.”
