Police Investigate Ogun Commissioner, Insist Victim’s Family Can’t Withdraw Sexual Harassment Case

The Police Command in Ogun State has said it would proceed with the investigation into the allegations of sexual harassment against the Commissioner for Environment, ABIODUN ABUDU-BALOGUN.

The Police Public Relations Officer of the Command, DSP ABIMBOLA OYEYEMI, disclosed that the Commissioner of Police, EDWARD AJOGUN, had ordered that the case be transferred to the Criminal Investigation Department at the Police headquarters in Eleweran, Abeokuta, the state capital.

The PPRO said the command will go ahead with the case despite the fact that the victim’s family had officially withdrawn the case against the Commissioner.

OYEYEMI said the father of the victim has no locus standi to tell the police that he is no longer pressing charges against the Commissioner because he is not the person that was directly involved in the case.

Ogun State Government Has Suspended The Commissioner For Environment For Attempted Rape Of A 16-Year-Old

The Ogun State government has suspended the Commissioner for Environment, ABIODUN ABUDU-BALOGUN, for allegedly attempting to rape a 16-year-old secondary school student of the state.

He was suspended from office over an allegation of sexual harassment of a 16-year-old girl identified as BARAKAT MAYOWA MELOJUEKUN.

The police on January 1 invited the commissioner for interrogation and have continued to investigate the matter.

In its statement, the state government assured the public that it will do everything to ensure that justice is served in the matter.

“Whilst taking cognizance of the principle of a suspect being presumed innocent until proven guilty and the public statement issued by Hon. Abudu-Balogun denying the allegation, as a government with zero tolerance for gender-based violence and indeed any criminality, the suspension is a further demonstration of the commitment of Prince Dapo Abiodun Administration to fairness, equity, justice and the rule of law, no matter who is involved.

“In the meantime, the suspended Commissioner has been directed to hand over to the Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Environment,” the statement read.
