A Lagos Magistrate Court has remanded a police officer who allegedly defiled a 17-year-old girl in Ogudu Area Police Command in Kirikiri prison pending determination of the case adjourned to March 1, 2025.
The Lagos State Domestic and Sexual Violence Agency, DSVA, made this known in a statement on Tuesday.
This comes after the now-retired police officer was arraigned on Tuesday.
“The Lagos State Domestic and Sexual Violence Agency (DSVA), in its continuous fight against domestic and sexual violence, has updated the general public that a police officer, now retired, who allegedly defiled a 17-year-old survivor at Ogudu Area Command was arraigned before Magistrate Fagbohun, Court 11, on Tuesday, February 11, 2025.
“Following his arraignment, he was remanded in Kirikiri Correctional Facility, and the case was adjourned to March 11, 2025, pending the issuance of the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) legal advice.
“The Domestic and Sexual Violence Agency has thus restated its commitment to ensuring justice and the Lagos State Government’s zero tolerance for sexual and domestic violence of all kinds.
” The agency urged everyone to partner with the state government to stamp out this evil vice, imploring everyone who sees something to say something, “the statement read.
Recall that in June last year, a police officer was reported to have raped a 17-year-old girl inside a police station
