THE Inspector-General of Police, Usman Alkali Baba, has ordered a probe of the alleged assault on a female Police Inspector, Bamidele Olorunsogo, by her DCO, Ajayi Matthew, in Ode-Omu, area of Osun State.
This comes after a video had gone viral, showing a dehumaniSed and battered Bamidele, accusing Matthew, a senior colleague of hers at the Ode-Omu Police Divisional Headquarters in Osun State, of assault and blackmail.
Bamidele alleged that Matthew had asked her for intimacy, a request which she refused on the grounds that she was married, but Matthew continued to blackmail and ended up assaulting her
She lamented, “What is my offence? He started beating me to the extent, he stripped me. Look at my chest, arms, everywhere, there are injuries. He is Ajayi Matthew. He asked me out, that I should befriend him. I said no, that I’m a married woman.”
“He started blackmailing me, claiming that he’s my lover, which is not true.”
A statement on Wednesday by the Force Public Relations Officer, Muyiwa Adejobi, said the Force Headquarters will await a report of the investigation from the Osun State Command, and take necessary actions on the matter.
“We will await the report of the investigation from the Osun State Police Command before necessary actions are taken.
“We, however, assure the general public that justice will be done on this case, to protect the core values and ethics of the NPF”.
