A trader in the Balogun Market, Lagos
State, Karamat Eleha, has accused four policemen attached to the Special
Anti-Robbery Squad, Lagos State Command, of torturing her for allegedly
stealing an iPad. The device was said to be the property of a woman in the....
Ajah area of the state, who was robbed in May, 2015.
The policemen, led by one Abiola (aka
Abbey), had, while searching for the iPad, reportedly stormed a
two-storey building in Idumagbo, Lagos Island, where Eleha lives with
her mother. It was learnt that she was not at home when the search
commenced.
According to source, the team searched residents’ apartments, but did not find the item.
As their mission continued, Eleha, who
was said to have gone for the fellowship in the neighbourhood, arrived
home and was asked about the iPad. According to Eleha, the cops insisted that they were getting signals
from a tracker, adding that the device was within the compound.
It was gathered that when the
cops insisted on checking an office in the same compound where Eleha’s
house is located, the cops could not gain entry because the door was
locked.
Eleha said she went to collect the keys
to the office from a pastor who owns the office. The victim said she
went to a nearby street, Ojo Giwa Street, to collect the keys.
“On getting back, they said their tracker
showed that the iPad was around the streets I passed through to the
pastor’s house,” she said. However the officials subsequently whisked away the 29-year-old woman to the
command headquarters, where she was reportedly stripped naked and
tortured.
