The Zone 2 Police Command headquarters in the Onikan area of Lagos State has detained an Investigating Police Officer (IPO) attached to the Isheri-Oshun Division for allegedly doctoring a case file and medical doctor’s report.
The Assistant Inspector-General (AIG) of Police in charge of the zone, Adegoke Fayoade, confirmed this in Lagos on Tuesday, February 4, 2025.
Fayoade said the IPO allegedly doctored the case file and doctor’s report relating to the alleged anal sexual assault on some teenage students by a hotelier in the Isheri-Oshun area of Lagos State.
The operatives of the zone had earlier arrested a hotelier for allegedly having anal sex with some teenage students at his hotel.
The hotelier allegedly threatened the students not to tell anyone about the act, or else, they would die.
The secret was made public after one of the victims, a 16-year-old boy, confessed to the parents about the act and later ran mad, a development which was reported to the Zone 2 command headquarters.

Police sources told NAN that after the detention of the suspect, his lawyer claimed that they earlier reported the case to the same zone for proper investigation.
The sources said when their case file was recovered from one of the units in Zone 2, it was discovered that it was doctored.
One of the sources said: “The confessional statement made at Isheri Osun Division by another teenager, who suffered the same fate and reports from doctors at Mirabel Centre at the General Hospital, Ikeja, Lagos, were doctored.
“Based on this, the AIG directed that more investigations be carried out, and this led detectives from the Zonal Oracle unit led by CSP Uba to storm Isheri Osun Police Station.
“When they got there, the IPO who delivered the doctored report confessed that he removed some statements from the case file.
“He later brought out the hidden statements, and it turned out to be that of a second victim, who gave vivid details of what the hotelier did to them with documented evidence.”
It was further gathered that some other police officers from Ejigbo Division may be invited for interrogation, over the alleged roles they played when detectives from the zonal command stormed the hotel owned by the suspect to arrest him.
