Two men are cool off in police detention after they stripped two teenage girls naked, flogged them and paraded them around the Ojiegbe Ngbo community Ohaukwu Local Government Ebonyi State, because they allegedly stole two chickens.
The Ebonyi State Police Command said the two men would be made to face the full wrath of the law for dehumanising the teenage girls as was seen in a disturbing video circulating online. The incident, it was gathered, happened in November 2023 but the video surfaced this week.
Members of the community called on the police to fish out the men behind the unsjust punishment meted to the girls. And the police swung into action and arrested the two suspects.
“The Ebonyi State Police Command has arrested Dennis Ali and Ituma Sunday, the primary suspects in a disturbing viral video where two teenage girls were stripped, flogged, and dehumanised,” Ebonyi police spokesperson DSP Joshua Ukandu, in a statement Tuesday.
