Enugu Police Arrest 3 Suspects Over Viral Assault Video
Chinenye as seen in the video, is a prank and meant to garner followers on their social media accounts.
Enugu State Police Command operatives have arrested three suspects who appeared in a viral video where a lady was subjected to a brutal assault, forced nudity, and the shaving of her hair.
The three persons arrested are one Obed Chekwube Ugwuanyi a.k.a. MC Sharp (male), aged 32, Chinenye Agbo a.k.a. Star Ella Ada (female), aged 26, and Anastasia Onu (female), aged 26.
DSP Daniel Ndukwe, State Police Public Relations Officer in a state made available on Tuesday said the trio and others at large are involved in the viral video wherein Chinenye was seen being beaten, her cloth torn and stripped, and her hair forcefully shaved on the allegation of beating up Anastasia, who is Obed’s girlfriend, and giving her a human bite on the chest.
He said “Preliminary investigation reveals that the trio are, however, claiming that the video, which has generated public outcry and condemnation due to the inconceivable assault, inhuman and degrading treatments meted out on Chinenye as seen in the video, is a prank and meant to garner followers on their social media accounts.
“Meanwhile, the Commissioner of Police, Ahmed Ammani, while condemning the act, has ordered the State CID Enugu to thoroughly investigate and prosecute those found culpable, to serve as a deterrent to anyone who may want to perpetrate such an act under the guise of a prank,” he said.
