Police Nab Suspects Over Viral Nude Video
Police operatives from the Anambra State Police Command have nabbed three suspects in connection with a nude video that went viral on the internet.
According to SP Haruna Mohammed, PPRO Anambra State Police Command, on the 21st March, 2019 at about 2.40pm, one Okafor Ogochukwu of Osile Village Ogidi, reported at Central Police Station Awka that on 19th March, 2019, at about 11.36am, she was invited by her male Facebook friend, one Ifeanyi Azotani, to his house at Ezimezi village in Amawbia, Anambra State. She said all of a sudden a woman who claimed to be his wife, namely Azotani Toochukwu, came into the house with her friend, one Ogochukwu Nwankwo, locked her inside the bathroom for almost four hours and left.
She narrated that the women later came back with two big canes and opened the bathroom. While the suspect’s friend, Ogochukwu Nwankwo, stripped her naked and flogged her severally, the principal suspect was busy recording the video with her phone. They thereafter pushed her out of the compound while still stark naked.
The victim further alleged that the principal suspect, Azotani Toochuckwu, called her on phone the following day and demanded for the sum of Sixty thousand Naira (N60,000) or they will post her nude video on the internet. Consequently, when she refused to pay the money as requested, the principal suspect, Azotani Toochukwu, carried out her threat and posted the nude video on the internet and since then the video went viral.
Meanwhile, three suspects have been arrested and the scene of the incident was visited by Police detectives attached to Central Police Station Awka. SP Mohammed said that the case is under investigation after which the suspects will be charged to Court for prosecution.
