The alleged rape was said to have occurred on 27th April when some suspected commercial sex workers were raided at Caramelo night club by the FCTA Joint Task Team.
The team that went on the raid comprises the Department of Development Control, Abuja Environment Protection Board (AEPB) and the Social Development Secretariat.
Some of the commercial sex workers alleged that they were harassed, molested and assaulted by some police personnel.
They alleged that policemen attached to Utako, Life Camp and Gwarimpa police stations raped and physically assaulted them in custody.
Following the allegation, the Command’s Deputy Spokesman, ASP Gajere Tanimu in a statement in Abuja on Friday, said the Command has sent out invitation to some individuals that may assist in the investigation.
While assuring members of the public of the Command’s zero tolerance for misconduct, Taminu stated stiff punishment will be meted out to officers found guilty.
