Turkeyen police station rape leaves serious questions for police, gov’t

Just under four years ago, a woman who went to lodge a report at the Turkeyen Police Station about a squib attack was raped by two policemen there, while a third refused to entertain her subsequent complaint of sexual violation, raising the question of what the government and law enforcers have done since then to ensure there is no recurrence.

The woman, who had gone to the Turkeyen station to lodge a report against an individual who had thrown a squib at her son on January 1, 2018, ended up being violated by the system which she turned to for help.

The perpetrators of the crime, Delon Chapman and Leon Ashby, were last week each sentenced to 25 years imprisonment.
