The News Agency of Nigeria reports that the policewoman was the second Prosecution Witness (PW2) in the trial of Alidu, a Police sergeant, for defilement.
The PW2 was led in evidence by the Deputy-Director, Lagos State Directorate of Public Prosecutions, Mr. Akin George.
She said the defendant accosted her daughter (name withheld) on her way home from school, dragged her into his apartment and defiled her.
“We live at Makinde Barracks, Mafoluku, Oshodi, Lagos.
“On June 29, 2018, I was at work when my husband, who was out of Lagos, called me to inform me that Sgt. Mohammed had defiled our daughter.
“I went to the Police station which is within the same compound of the barracks, and my daughter was in the Police station.
“My daughter told me that when she was coming back from school, Mohammed called her but she ignored him.
“She said he forcefully took her to his apartment, put her on a bed, tore her underwear and defiled her,” she said.
According to her, Mohammed was also at the Police station, begging and telling the divisional Police officer that it was the work of the devil.
The policewoman said her daughter was taken to the Mirabel Centre (a sexual assault referral centre) for medical examination, and doctors confirmed that she had been defiled.
During cross-examination by defence counsel, Mr. Sunday Odise, the policewoman told the court that the defendant lived near her residence.
“He did not have a house within the barracks. He was sleeping in a shop opposite our home,” she said.
