Two
police corporals have been arrested and detained on the orders of the
Commissioner of Police, Osun State Command, Mrs. Kalafite Adeyemi, for
raping a 15-year-old girl in Ilesa.
PUNCH Metro learnt that the girl was passing by Ayeso Police
Station in Ilesa on Tuesday night when the armed policemen dragged her
into their apartment beside the station and allegedly raped her.
A source gave the name of the victim as Bisola.
Police Public Relations Officer of the command, Mrs. Sade Odoro, on
Wednesday said, “They (policemen) cannot escape because this is a
command known for discipline.

investigation into the case, adding that the policemen must be brought
to book if found guilty.
