#StopRapeNow: College seeks justice over student’s alleged rape by Nigeria Police officer, (ASP), Mr John Mafoya

There has been over five years of mutual trust and harmony between the Osiele Police Post and students of the Federal College of Education (FCE) , Abeokuta, Ogun State, but that trust ruptured, following an allegation of multiple rape of a Primary Education Studies (PES) student of the College by Mafoya.

It was not the first time the officer, Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP), Mr John Mafoya would be accused of rape. He was earlier said to have had sex with…..
another student without her consent. The girl’s father petitioned the police, and he is still awaiting the outcome of the investigation.

The latest case began last April 30 when the victim was first detained at the Osiele Police Post for participating in a group assault on a National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) member, Mr. Kareem Alaba.

Alaba was said to have made  advances at the girl during her visit to his house at Arokoje village in Abule Obantoko area of Abeokuta.

The corps member, it was alleged, attempted to rape her when she would not “play ball”.

It was gathered that the girl whose dress was torn while struggling to free herself returned to campus and reported the incident to her male friends.

Alaba was invited to the campus by the girl, and was beaten up by her male friends.

Mafoya was said to have ordered the arrest and detention of the girl even as he also personally took over the case.

He allegedly drove her to his residence at Alanco, raped her  before bringing her back to the police post by 10.30 pm, where  he raped her again.

It was gathered that students raised N3,000 the following day to effect their colleague’s release.

Although, the traumatised victim, it was learnt, could not recount the rape encounter at the FCE’s security unit, she managed to record what transpired on her cell phone.

It was also gathered that some officers, appalled by the alleged act, reported the incident to the  Commissioner of Police, Val Ntomchukwu, who ordered an investigation.
