\u2022 POLICE GAINS NOTORIETY FOR ENABLING PEDOPHILES<\/p>\n
A coalition of Gender Based Violence (GBV) responders has knocked the police for bungling the scheduled autopsy of 14 year old Miss Karen-Happuch Akpagher, who was allegedly rape at Premiere Academy, Lugbe, where she was a boarding student.<\/p>\n
Following controversies trailing the cause of death of Keren-Happuch, an autopsy was scheduled for Saturday, 3rd day of July 2021. But the refusal of a Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) at the FCT Police Command to release a copy of the medical report to the police appointed pathologist stalled the conduct of the autopsy.<\/p>\n
The coalition of GBV responders expressed their disappointment and called for a probe of the special interest of the DCP in holding tenaciously to the medical report on the cause of death, wondering what he has to hide.<\/p>\n
In a statement issued by members of the coalition, Lemmy Ughegbe of Men Against Rape Foundation and Mrs Edoamaowo Udeme of Network Against Domestic Violence Foundation. , they decried \u201cthe levity and lack of professionalism\u201d of the police in handling this very serious case, saying it portrays the police as too casual and nonchalant with regards to cases of sexual and gender based violence.<\/p>\n
The coalition said thus: \u201cWe understand that the principal pathologist at the Maitama General Hospital appointed by the police to conduct the autopsy, Dr. Desmond Ike Okonkwo had in the last 5 days demanded from the police a copy of the medical report on the death of Keren-Happuch. The pathologist said having a copy of the medical report was a pre-condition for him to conduct the autopsy.
\n\u201cBut sadly a Deputy Commissioner of Police in whose custody the said report is had by this morning of the autopsy refused to release the medical report on the basis that it was not necessary to give it to the pathologist. The Police Chief\u2019s refusal to give the said report ended up causing the pathologist to call of the examination.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is reprehensible and raises suspicion as to his motive. Why will he want to sit on the medical report and not release it to the police appointed pathologist? What is in the medical report that the police chief does not want the pathologist to see?
\nThe coalition said \u201csince last week, commenced discreet investigation into the matter to enable us have clarity on the circumstances that led to the death of We have also interviewed the deceased’s mother, Mrs. Vivien Akpagher and are verifying the veracity or otherwise of her claims that her daughter was raped in the said school, condom left in her, which infected her and resulted in sepsis leading to her death.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs professionals, we are diligent, thorough and professional and therefore eschew needless sensationalism UNTIL we conclude our findings after harvesting all sides of the story.<\/p>\n
Accordingly, the coalition visited the school management last Friday, 2nd of July 2021 in order to accord them the opportunity to clear themselves of complicity and negligence which resulted in Keren-Happuch’s death. This is in line with their constitutional right to fair hearing and in accordance with our code of conduct as GBV responders.\u201d<\/p>\n
We have made some interesting findings and were just patiently waiting for the autopsy before coming out with an official position.
\nIt is disheartening that the DCP preferred to hold onto the medical report like a personal laurel and therefore frustrate the process. We are by this statement calling the police high command to order as we note that this is the same way the police frustrated the call for the arrest of one of those who raped serially for 5 years the- 13 year old Ochanya Elizabeth Ogbanje to death, Victor Ogbuja.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe note with regret that the police has gained a notoriety for ignoring calls to bring pedophiles and rapists to book as exemplified in the police\u2019s refusal to honour repeated calls vide petitions for Victor Ogbuja to be declared wanted in the last 3 years.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
