Wonders shall indeed never end.

Just when Nigerians thought that they had seen it all, that was when Sgt. Abraham Uzuobo, an officer of the Nigeria Police Force in Edo State shocked everyone.

This fresh episode of drama started with the arrest of a 17-year-old girl, who was detained at the South-Ibie police division in Edo State on charges of possessing stolen property.

Sadly, this young suspect only ended up as a victim in the hands of the very people that are meant to protect the citizens.

Things got ugly when Inspector Edith Eduma, a female officer on duty, briefly left her post.

The Incident

That was when Uzuobo seized the opportunity to carry out his evil act.

He sneaked in, unlocked the cell and took the girl to the administrative department, where he exploited her vulnerability.

A video of the incident, which reportedly occurred on October 10, shows the victim lying on the floor while the policeman, caught with his trousers down, engaged in a heated argument with the policewoman overseeing the case as he hurriedly attempted to dress.

Internal communications within the police force, which were also reviewed, confirmed that the event occurred on the said date.

Things escalated when Inspector Eduma, upon returning to the cell found that the key was missing.

The Cover Up

She became suspicious of the disturbing event and raised alarm, leading to the discovery of both Uzuobo and the victim in one of the station’s administrative offices.

But guess what?

Instead of reporting the incident to higher authorities, the officer chose to inform her husband and two other police colleagues.

It is alleged that she later accepted ₦45,000 from Uzuobo to cover up the inciden.

Subsequently, she extorted him for an additional ₦1 million, threatening to release the video on social media if he did not comply.

Although the later allegations could not be verified, the signal of the force documented the blackmail.

However, both Uzoba and Eduma have undergone an orderly room trial and have been recommended for dismissal due to their disgraceful conduct.

When reached for comment, Police Public Relations Officer, SP Moses Yamu, indicated that he would provide a statement regarding the incident later, as he was traveling from Auchi to Benin.

When asked about the veracity of the incident, the PPRO refrained from confirming or denying it until the conclusion of the conversation.

Subsequent attempts to contact him via phone went unanswered, and a text message sent had not received a response by the time this report was prepared.
