In a statement by the Police Public Relations Officer, Adekunle Ajisebutu,in Lagos said the Police officer had detained his lover, Jennifer Madueke, over pistol which could not be found after having sex with her in his office.
The police officer after detaining his lover for three days transferred her to the State Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department, Yaba, where she continued her detention.
The DPO invited lady Madueke to his office on August 27 being Friday and slept with her throughout the night and release her early at about 5am on Saturday.
A week after, reports said Miss Madueke was invited by the DPO where he accused her of stealing his official pistol on night they have sex and eventually detained her.
He allegedly kept and tortured her in his cell till September 6, telling her to confess to stealing the pistol. He thereafter took her to SCIID from where she led the police to her house for searching and possible recovering the missing pistol.
