Family of teenager allegedly r@ped by Landlord’s son unwilling to cooperate with Police – Lagos PPRO
The Public Relations Officer of the Lagos State Police Command, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, has spoken on the trending story of a teenager allegedly raped by the son of their landlord in Alakuko, Lagos.
The story was broken by an X-user, who posted a video of the victim in a blood-soaked pair of jeans.
The X-user claimed that the landlord said nothing would happen in the case and that his son would not be arrested.
Outraged Nigerians then began a mobilization for justice to be served in the case. The Lagos State PPRO was severally tagged by netizens.
The PPRO initially responded to say that he had inquired from the Divisional Police Officer in charge of the area and he said no such case had been reported.
He later returned to the platform to say that the house had been located. He, however, said the victim, the suspect and the said landlord were not in the house at the time.
The PPRO said the officers later contacted the mother of the victim on the phone, but she was unwilling to cooperate with the police.
“Also, everyone on the street has declined assisting the police in any form. Radio silence!” he said, adding that investigation would continue.
