The Zone 2 Police Command headquarters, Onikan, has confirmed the detention of an Investigating Police Officer (IPO) attached to the Isheri-Oshun Division, Lagos, for allegedly doctoring a case file and a medical doctor’s report.
On Tuesday, the Assistant Inspector General (AIG) of Police in charge of the zone, Adegoke Fayoade, accused the IPO of doctoring the case file and doctor’s report relating to the alleged anal sexual assault of some teenage students by a hotelier in Isheri-Oshun.
The hotelier was earlier detained by the police for the alleged offense. He was accused of threatening the students not to tell anyone, but one of the victims, a 16-year-old boy, confessed to the parents and later reportedly ran mad, a development that was reported to the Zone 2 command headquarters.
Police sources told the NAN that the case file was doctored after the detention of the suspect.
“The confessional statement made at Isheri Osun Division by another teenager, who suffered the same fate, and reports from doctors at Mirabel Center at the General Hospital, Ikeja, Lagos, were doctored," a police source told NAN.
“Based on this, the AIG directed that more investigations be carried out, and this led detectives from the Zonal Oracle unit led by CSP Uba storming Isheri Osun Police Station.
“When they got there, the IPO who delivered the doctored report confessed that he removed some statements from the case file.
“He later brought out the hidden statements, and it turned out to be that of a second victim, who gave vivid details of what the hotelier did to them with documented evidence,” the source said.
