Rights commission, police speak on alleged rape of women arrested in Abuja - Daily Post Nigeria

Executive Secretary of the commission, Mr Tony Ojukwu said the director is to appear before the commission to brief it on the role of its officers in the raid on innocent citizens in the FCT and attending allegations of rape of those arrested.

Okenyodo noted that it was an aberration for officers of the law to molest citizens in the guise of protecting the law. She urged the office of the Vice President to issue a directive calling on all government agencies to cease the raids, unlawful arrests and gender-based violence against women on suspicion of engaging in sex work.

She gave the assurance that those found culpable would be brought to justice to serve as a deterrent to others.
