Everything,
it seems, has a price. The price Miss Idowu Akinwunmi has to pay for
her allegation that she was raped by the Divisional Police Officer (DPO)
in charge of Onikan Police Station, a Superintendent of Police (SP),
Adekunle Awe, is enormous.
Today, 14 days after the allegation became public knowledge, Akinwunmi, apart from the psychological trauma she is experiencing, has lost her job. According to investigation, it is now pretty difficult for the mother of two to feed herself. This is as the panel probing the allegation is yet to release the outcome of its findings.
She has also missed two appointments which the state Commissioner of Police, Umar Manko, gave her. This, according to Akinwunmi’s close friend, was because she has no money to transport herself to the police station for the appointments.
It appears that all the organisations, trying to outwit one another in the wake of the allegation, to be seen to be on the side of Akinwunmi, have gone to bed, leaving her in a dark corner to lick her wounds. The friend, who wished to remain anonymous, said: “She is squatting with a friend now.
She told me that she was tired of begging and borrowing money to keep police appointments. “Manko gave her appointments for Thursday and Friday, but she was not able to make it because she didn’t have money.
Everyone has now abandoned her.” The friend explained that the man, Friday, who was at the centre of the trouble that led to Akinwunmi being arrested and detained at Onikan Police Station by her boss, Mrs Pelumi Idowu, has also been sacked by his company for absenteeism from work.
“It is Friday who used to assist her with money before for transportation, but Friday too has been sacked. He was sacked for not reporting to duty for three days. “He was arrested and detained and was later taken to police command to face the panel.
Before he went back to office, three days had gone. He worked with a Lebanese company. He explained the situation to the management of his company, but he was still sacked.
