Hundeyin responded to the reports on his official X.com account, writing: “Suspect now in custody.”
An officer at the station had promised to help a teenager retrieve her phone, which had been stolen by “one chance” robbers.
The suspect allegedly overheard the victim recounting her ordeal to her mother at her shop and offered to help track the phone.
According to the victim, the officer lured her to his office, locked the door, and threatened her with a gun before sexually assaulting her. The incident has sparked outrage and calls for justice across Nigeria.
