Some policemen at the Utako Police station in Abuja have been accused of raping some women who were arrested as suspected prostitutes during a sting operation on night clubs and brothels in the nation’s capital.
The convicted prostitutes reportedly alleged that some of the policemen at the station used pure water sachets as ‘condom’ when they raped them during a raid aimed at making the Federal Capital Territory free of prostitutes.
Some of the ladies also said some of the policemen raped them without any form of protection.
Consequently, the Federal Capital Territory Police Command said it has set up a high-powered team to probe the allegations of sexual and physical assault levelled against its men at the Utako Police Station, Abuja, by the convicted prostitutes.
The Command spokesman, Gajere Danjuma, said stiff punishments will be meted out to the errant officers, assuring members of the public of the Police zero tolerance for disregard for human rights.
The ladies had accused unidentified policemen attached to the FCTA Joint Task Team comprising the Department of Development Control, Abuja Environment Protection Board and the Social Development Secretariat of raping them after their arrest.
The women, who were arrested for alleged prostitution at different hotels and night clubs in Abuja on April 27, alleged that the policemen released victims who gave them money.
