Three officers of the Kick Against Indiscipline, KAI, have been arrested for allegedly raping a 24-year old woman after they demanded N10,000 bribe from her.
The suspected KAI officers, identified as Benjamin Akinade, Olayinka Olowu and Adebayo Ayeni, have been remanded in the custody of the Lagos State Taskforce on Environmental and Special Offences (Enforcement) Unit and will soon be charged to court.
The officers were arrested by the KAI authorities after the woman (name withheld) allegedly reported the rape case to officers at KAI’s headquarters in Ikeja, Lagos, southwest Nigeria.
The incident occurred recently when the woman crossed the expressway instead of using the pedestrian bridge at Ojota area of Lagos State.
The woman alleged that the officers arrested her for breaking the traffic law but later demanded for N10,000 bribe to set her free.
