The Police in Rivers State are investigating one of their officers who has been accused of illegal detention and rape.
According to the girl simply identified as Binla, the officer Salihu Kazeem kept her and her friend in his room, video tape them in nude, sprayed them with tear gas before having sex with them all through the night.
Binla who spoke to newsmen in Port Harcourt said: “He asked us to take off our dresses. He recorded us as we were naked. He now told us that if we didn’t cooperate with him, he was going to spread the nude videos.
“Then he took us to a room and poured us teargas. He then slept with us till the next morning. He’s been coming after us for one month and has had sex with us like three times now.”
She claimed to have met the policeman while job hunting: “I was discussing with my friend that I was looking for a job. She told me that she was going to visit her friend and asked me to join her.
“When I saw the man, I talked with him. He asked about my age. I told him I was 17 years old. He said okay, he would see what he could do.
“He asked if we had something to eat, and we said no. He gave us his ATM card, saying that we should go and get anything we wanted to eat.
“We bought food and came back and returned the ATM card to him,” she added.
The accused policeman however, painted a different story. He claimed that the girls were hookers he met and they had consensual sex.
“They came to my house, I gave Elizabeth my ATM (card) that they should go and buy food. They left with the ATM card. I didn’t see them till 11pm to midnight.
“None of them called me. None of them said anything to me. The only thing I was receiving was a debit alert.
“I tried to reach Elizabeth and her friend gave me her number for hook up. She now told me that she gave my ATM to Binla, that I should not be offended.
“That the following day she (Binla) would come and see me. Then, who is now using the ATM that I have been receiving alert?
“She said lady that was with them in my house. I asked, “How did my ATM get to Binla?”
