The Police Commissioner of Ebonyi State, Peace Abdallah while addressing newsmen in Abakaliki revealed that three police officers and the serving Coordinator of Ohaozara Development Centre, Ene Ogbonnaya, have been nabbed for alleged torture and indecent assault of a 15-year-old girl, Uzoamaka Unogbo.

In her address, the Police Commissioner, said; “They stripped her naked, whipped her with cables and canes and, thereafter, posted her nude pictures and video on the social media.

“The policemen indicted in the incident have also been arrested and they are going through the police disciplinary procedures before the commencement of prosecution. The victim has just been able to make her painful statement and the case is being diligently investigated to ensure that justice is done in this scandalous act.”

Reacting further to the case, the Police Commissioner said further investigation is still ongoing on the matter as she revealed that the victim did not commit any offence to warrant the kind of punishment that was metted out to her.
