A woman, who does not want
her name mentioned, on Wednesday accused a police officer identified as Peter
Ebah, attached to Saakpenwaa Police Division in the Tai Local Government Area
of Rivers State of detaining and raping her in a guest house after she was
arrested for not wearing a nose mask.
The victim, a widow and mother of
two, disclosed that she was taken away from a bus she was traveling in from
Bori, Khana LGA, to Port Harcourt, around 6.30pm on Tuesday.
The victim added that the police
officer, after detaining her at the checkpoint for hours, put her in the police
van and began to drive around under the pretext of taking her to the station,
adding that they ended up at a guest house.
The victim said she cooperated
after the policeman threatened her.
She said, “After a while, they
took me to a guest house, where one of them, Inspector Peter Ebah, from
Sakpenwa Police station raped and threatened to kill me if I misbehaved and
held me there till this (Wednesday) morning.
“In the morning, he asked me to
give him my account number so that he would transfer N2,000 into it. I played
along and gave him the account number because I didn’t know what he would do to
me if I had refused.”
When contacted, the Police Public Relations Officer, Nnamdi
Omoni, said the police was investigating the matter towards unmasking the
accused police officer and ensuring that justice was served in the matter.
