Policemen in the Federal Capital Territory had gone on a raid of nightclubs, arresting women they accused of being sex workers.
Some of the women reported that they were raped in detention as condition for their bail.
The action of the policemen led to protest by women on the streets of Abuja and widespread condemnation on social media.
Reacting in a video posted on Instagram, Okon said sexual assault of sex workers couldn’t be classified as rape.
According to him, the policemen only stole for the women without paying for service (sex).
