The Divisional Police Officer of Adeeke Division, Iwo, was reportedly questioned about the alleged mistreatment of a woman named Blessing Mba, according to the Osun State Police Public Relations Officer, Yemisi Opalola, on Tuesday.
Opalola added that the state’s police chief, Wale Olokode, had directed that the division’s police officers who had been charged with assaulting the woman be detained at the state criminal investigation department in Osogbo.
The victim, however, allegedly left after being invited by the police, according to a statement made by a police spokesperson on Tuesday.
“The woman involved was invited,” the statement said, in part.
When she was called to appear before the police, she asked to go inside her home to get dressed.
The cops forced their way inside to check her out after waiting for nearly an hour and not seeing her leave the residence; however, she was nowhere to be found.
“She instantly turned off her phone after it was assumed that she had fled from the backyard.
Her number hasn’t been connecting calls since yesterday until now, so I grabbed her number and contacted her multiple times.”
Following her visit to the station to look for her son Friday, 15, who had been taken into custody by the police, Mba reportedly underwent torture.
The victim was charged with organizing a scheme to leave a sacrifice at the station.
