Police Operatives Arrest Persons Involved In Viral Video Of Assault On Enugu Lady
Police officers assigned to the Nsukka Area Command of the Enugu State Command have detained three people on suspicion of beating up Anastasia, the girlfriend of one Obed Chekwube Ugwuanyi, also known as MC Sharp (male), in the viral video in which Chinenye was beaten, her clothing torn and stripped, and her hair forcibly shaved.
Anastasia Onu, also 26 years old, and Chinenye Agbo, also known as Star Ella Ada, are both being held by authorities in connection with the heinous incident.
DSP Daniel Ndukwe, the Command’s spokesman, revealed this in a statement released in Enugu on Wednesday.
The trio and other participants in the viral video in which Chinenye was shown being abused, having her clothing taken off of her, and having her hair forcibly shaved on are all involved.
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, CP 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.
