However, sources within the state police command hinted PUNCH METRO that there was a subtle decision by the state’s police hierarchy to sweep the matter under the carpet.
But the deputy spokesman of the state police command, Mr. Samuel Jinadu, said there was no such plan, insisting that the matter was being investigated.
Jinadu said, “The truth is that on the day (October 29), she went to Victoria Island police division and reported the matter. She made her statement and thereafter left.
