A 27-year-old housewife, Mrs Victoria Amodu, who is facing a two-count charge of conspiracy and armed robbery before a Lagos High Court, has accused an Investigative police officer(IPO) at Special Anti-Robbery Squad, Ikeja Division, of demanding sex before she could be released from custody.

Victoria, a mother-of-four, made this allegation against the IPO(name not mentioned) while giving the testimony as a defence witness.
The accused, who is standing trial alongside one Hammed Isiaka(both pictured) while denying the allegation against her, told Justice Kudirat Jose that the IPO demanded that unless she had sex with him, she wouldn’t be allowed home on bail.
One of the charges reads, “Hammed Isiaka and Victoria Amodu and others now at large on or about August 12, 2014 while armed with a pistol did rob one Elizabeth Moses of a cash sum of N35, 000 and a cheque of N1.4m”.
An offence contrary to Sections 295(2)(a) of the Criminal Law No 11 Laws of Lagos State, 2011.
Victoria, however, while being led in evidence by her lawyer, Nelson Onyejaka, told the court that she was unjustly arrested by the police on August 12, 2014 at Church Bus stop, Badagry Lagos.
