The Enugu State Police Command have arrested three suspects: Obed Chekwube Ugwuanyi, also known as MC Sharp (male, 32 years old), Chinenye Agbo, known as Star Ella Ada (female, 26 years old), and Anastasia Onu (female, 26 years old), in connection with the assault of Chinenye.
This trio and others who are currently at large, were captured in a viral video in which Chinenye was subjected to inconceivable physical abuse.
Suspects arrested
Chinenye was beaten, stripped naked, and forcibly had her hair shaved off for allegedly attacking Anastasia, who is Obed’s girlfriend, and biting her chest in the process.
The video made rounds on social media and stirred public outrage and call for justice over the inhumane and degrading treatments meted out on Chinenye.
However, in a surprising new turn, the suspects are claiming that the incident was a prank meant to help them gain followers on social media.
A statement by the police spokesperson, DSP Daniel Ndukwe, noted that;
“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.
Ndukwe added that the state 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 prank.
