The Commissioner of Police, Imo State Command, CP Aboki Danjuma, has ordered the arrest of a group of men seen in a viral video brutalizing a woman, identified as Mrs. Agu Ndididamaka, 55-year-old, of Umuakaliukwu Kindred, Uboegbelu, Azaraubo, Emekuku.
In a statement made available to journalists by the Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Henry Okoye, on Monday, the police said preliminary investigation revealed that the victim was attacked by six men identified as Osuji Chiazor, Agu Azubike, Njoku Onyedikachi, Njoku Eugene, Njoku Dikachi, Njoku Emmanuel, and Iwuala Chukwuma.
According to the statement, acting on the directive, the X-Squad Unit of the Police Command has commenced efforts to identify, arrest, and bring all individuals involved in the appalling act to justice without delay.
The assault was allegedly carried out because the woman cooperated with police officers who had earlier visited the community for investigative purposes.
Consequently, efforts were ongoing to apprehend the suspects, after which they would be charged to court.
The Commissioner of Police strongly condemned the act, describing it as barbaric, inhuman, and totally unacceptable.
The Police warned that any form of jungle justice or intimidation of citizens who lawfully assist the police will not be tolerated under any circumstance.
