Eko Hot Blog reports that a Superintendent of Police whose full identity is yet to be made public has been reportedly placed under detention for allegedly sexually assaulting a 13-year-old girl.
The officer attached to the Bori Police Area Command in Khana Local Government Area of Rivers State is currently detained at the State Criminal Investigation And Intelligence Department (SCIID) in Port Harcourt, following the directive of the Commissioner of Police in Rivers State, CP Olatunji Disu, in response to the defilement accusation.
