ASP Arrested For Raping Ogun FCE Students In Police Custody

Ogun State Commissioner of Police, Mr Valentine Ntomchukwu, has ordered the arrest of an Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) for allegedly raping an undergraduate of the Federal College of Education (FCE) while in his custody.

The victim, simply identified as Oluwaseun, was said to have been detained and raped at Osiele Police Post, Abeokuta, where the ASP, Mr John Mafoya, is the head of the station. Mafoya was alleged to have brought the girl out from the cell and took her to his home To Molest.

He returned her to the cell but later brought her out To Molest again in his office. The crime would have gone unnoticed but for a police corporal who reported the case to the police authorities. Oluwaseun, stealthily used her phone to record the ASP’s sordid discussions with her.

Mafoya, who was said to have indulged in raping female detainees at random, was arrested and detained after Ntomchukwu received a petition from the father of one of his victims. Oluwaseun’s incident happened just as another petitioned was received at the police headquarters that Mafoya raped another detainee, Folashade, while she was also in his custody. A police source described both victims as Primary Education Studies (PES) students of the FCE, Osiele, Abeokuta, the Ogun State capital.

The ladies accused Mafoya of raping them. The source said: “Folashade’s father sent a strongly worded petition to the Ogun State Commissioner of Police, alleging that ASP Mafoya abducted and forcibly had carnal knowledge of his daughter in the college.”

“The case involving Oluwaseun unfolded after she was detained at Osiele Police Post on April 30, 2015. She was detained because she was involved in a group assault on a corps member, Mr Kareem Alaba. “Alaba was said to have made romantic advances at Oluwaseun during a visit to the corps member’s residence at Arokoje village, Abule, Obantoko in Abeokuta.”

The source added that Mafoya, for reasons yet unknown, among all those arrested, ordered Oluwaseun to be detained. Around 7pm that same day, he personally took over the case. “He later brought Oluwaseun out from the cell, drove her to his residence at Alanco in Abeokuta and forcibly had sex with her.

“Mafoya brought her back to the station. When it was around 10.30pm, he brought her out again from the cell, took her into his office and raped,” the source said. The following day, Oluwaseun’s colleagues raised N3,000 to bail her. While the ASP was busy raping the lady, he did not know she recorded his conversations with her on her phone.
