The Imo State Police Command has arrested a 24-year-old man, Wisdom Onyeaju, over the alleged defilement of a 15-year-old girl in the Owerri West Local Government Area of the state.
The command’s Public Relations Officer, Henry Okoye, said on X platform on Thursday that an X user, Somto Okonkwo, had shared a video where a woman alleged that her younger sister was raped by a man who forced his way into their apartment.
She also said that when the incident was reported at a police station, officers demanded a sum of N100,000 before they would commence an investigation.
Following the allegation, the police identified the officers involved as Inspector Charles Abaneke and Inspector Aweleka Cordelia and vowed to discipline them.
