Police Nab Three Over Viral Video Prank

The Police in Nsukka Area Command of the Enugu State, have arrested one Obed Chekwube Ugwuanyi, a.k.a. MC Sharp, 32; Chinenye Agbo, a.k.a. Star Ella Ada, (female), 26, and Anastasia Onu (female), aged 26.
A statement issued in Enugu, and signed by the Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), DSP Daniel Ndukwe, said the trio and others at large were allegedly involved in the viral video wherein Chinenye was seen being beaten, her cloth torn and stripped, and her hair forcefully shaved on the allegation of beating up Anastasia, who is Obed’s girlfriend.
Ndukwe, however, stated that preliminary investigation revealed that the trio claimed the video, which had generated public outcry and condemnation due to the inconceivable assault, inhuman and degrading treatments meted out on Chinenye, was a prank and meant to garner followers on their social media accounts.
Meanwhile, the Police image maker stated that 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 act in future under the guise of a prank.
