The Lagos State Police Command has queried the Noforija Divisional Police Officer after two brothers accused of raping a teenager in the Igbooye community, Epe area of the state, escaped from custody.

The Police Public Relations Officer, Bala Elkana, said it was discovered that the DPO lied that the suspects were in custody, adding that he had been queried.

Our correspondent had reported that two brothers, Alaba and Abiodun Musa, allegedly took turns to rape the victim, a 16-year-old girl.


They were alleged to have hypnotised and raped her.

Despite threats from the suspects, the teenager was said to have opened up to some residents as community youths mobilised, apprehended the brothers and handed them over to men of the Lagos State Neighbourhood Safety Corps.

The security men then handed the brothers over to the police.

When contacted then, the police spokesperson, Elkana, told PUNCH Metro that the Commissioner of Police had instructed that the suspects be transferred to the gender unit of the command headquarters, Ikeja.


However, in controversial circumstances, the suspects escaped.

When our correspondent contacted the DPO, he denied the claim, just as another policeman at the station insisted that the brothers were still in custody.

Elkana had issued another order on behalf of the CP that the suspects and the parties should be brought to the command headquarters.

You can see that even the people that are meant to protect us are the one killing us.....

Lol

Corrupt Uniform men

You can see why i find it hard to blame people when they engage in jungle justice for these culprits rather than hand them over to the police... They know the police are only after their pockets, not justice. Sad.

This is what engenders mob action.

Placated Policing

This compromise must not be swept under the carpet

Nigeria matter just tire me this days. From oga at top to the common man on the street

Okay

Idiot's may all your daughters be raped for aiding their escape

he

Because of how much.

People will be shouting no to jungle justice.. Can you imagine how the police released Culprits that were handed over to them on trust just because of bribe

They even lied that the suspects are in custody. Only God knows if Evans and Mr. David West Gracious are still in custody as we were made to believe. They should just replace the criminals with the DPO in cell no need for query..

Nigeria and wonders

Police and corruption like 5&6 ..na so criminal dey escape to return and waste them in battles yet they never learn their lesson ..terrible men in uniform

Till u are falsely accused and killed. More innocent people die through jungle justice is why we are against it.

Perhaps the guys has settled DPO

Fellow criminals

soon you would hear that the port Harcourt serial killer has escaped.

naija which way, make an arrest charge to court and let the criminal serve his sentence but in the country no.

little wonder the jungle justice the masses dish out these days, because they do not trust the system, you catch criminal today hand over to the police and next week he is on the streets again probably giving you a bad eye[b]

shhhh... i never said I'm for jungle justice, i only said i find it hard to blame them when it happens. Read to understand not to reply. We need to fix our justice system first to really stop jungle justice. People have to be sure the system will deliver justice.

You see now l, jungle justice is the way like I always advocate �
