Lagos DPO Accused of Raping Woman in Police Custody Arrested
I salute the courage of Idowu Akinwunmi for holding the Divisional Police Officer in charge of Onikan Station, SP Adekunle Awe, to account. The DPO allegedly raped, extorted and threatened her life while she was in police custody. The Lagos State Police Command has now arrested the DPO and two other policemen of the rank of inspector as part of ongoing investigations.

Victims Speak Out - Eliminating Domestic Violence
Sometimes I sigh in resignation when the issue of domestic violence comes up. Can there ever be a solution to this problem? When you think it is only illiterate men that are prone to DV, it smacks you in the face that some supposedly enlightened men are not immune. And then that some women bear it for so long? Losing babies, limbs, enduring pain! Well, these women have spoken out about their experiences, and hopefully, by generating some conversation with this documentary, we might be able to change minds and hearts.
