“Shortly after Mr. Isaiah left the Abraka Police Station, the Police IPO instructed the policeman at the counter to take Mrs. Ozegbe to the police cell and deliver her into a cell where there were already two men.

“As soon as the policeman locked the gate to the entrance of the cells, two younger boys came into the cell where Mrs. Ese and the other two mature men were kept, and immediately they started rubbing her and she protested that she is a married woman and mother of five children and about to wed.

“The boys asked her to keep quite and immediately grabbed her by her neck and closed her mouth with their hands, the others held her two hands and threw her on the ground and started to rape her. In the process, she started shouting but the policemen refused to come to her aid until she went into a coma. She realised herself the following morning”, he said.
