Three persons, Obed Chekwube Ugwuanyi a.k.a. MC Sharp (male), 32; Chinenye Agbo a.k.a. Star Ella Ada (female), 26, and Anastasia Onu (female), 26, have been arrested for faking a video of a lady beaten, stripped and had her hair shaven.
It was gathered that the trio acted the scene to attract followership to their social media handles.
They were arrested by police operatives serving in Nsukka Area Command on 14/08/2023, our correspondent gathered.
According to the state police public relations officer, DSP Daniel Ndukwe, “The trio and others at large are involved in the viral video wherein Chinenye was seen being beaten, her clothes torn and stripped, and her hair forcefully shaved on the allegation of beating up Anastasia, who is Obed’s girlfriend, and giving her a human bite on the chest.
“Preliminary investigation reveals that the video, which has generated public outcry and condemnation due to the inconceivable assault, inhuman and degrading treatments meted to Chinenye as seen in the video, is a prank and meant to garner followers on their social media accounts.”
Meanwhile, the state commissioner of police, CP Ahmed Ammani, while condemning the act, ordered the State CID, Enugu, to 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 a prank.
