Operatives of the Nigeria Police Force have arrested six male suspects involved in the shocking, barbaric and indecent assault meted out on a young Nigerian female as shown in a video which recently went viral.
P.M.EXPRESS reports that this was disclosed by the FPPRO, ACP Frank Mba.
Mba said that following the dehumanizing incident, the Inspector General of Police, IGP Mohammed Adamu had ordered a comprehensive investigation into the report.
Consequently, the Edo State Police Command, led by its Commissioner of Police, CP Hakeem Odumosu, swung into action, leading to the investigative breakthrough.

The six male suspects arrested are: (1.) Otoghile Joel (owner of the phone alleged to have been stolen by the young woman) (2.) Lucky Igbinovia (alias “One Man Squad” in whose house the young woman was tortured) (3.) Edobor Osemwengie (manager of Lafun Hotel) (4.) Kingsley Iyamu (5.) Gregg Eweka (6.) Friday Omorogbe.
Meanwhile, the police have established contact with the female victim, aged 24 years. Her health status and recovery rate are being monitored.
