The
men of 32 Artillery Brigade of the Nigeria Army, Akure, Ondo State, have
arrested four men in Ikaramu Akoko, Akoko North West Local Government Area of
Ondo State, allegedly for posting nude photographs of some ladies online.
Though
the security agents have withheld information about the identities of the
suspects, it was gathered that three of them were members of the National Youth
Service Corps serving in the state.
According
to a source, the suspects were fond of inviting their girlfriends to a hotel
where they encouraged them to go nude, after which they took their pictures.
The
source added that later, the suspects would demand money from the ladies, with
the threat that if they failed to cooperate, their nude pictures would be
posted online.
The
source said, “Many ladies, including their fellow corps members, have fallen
victim to the suspects who have been making money from the crime until they
were eventually caught.
“They
will invite their girlfriends to a particular hotel in Ikare Akoko, where they
didn’t just make love to the ladies, but also photographed them while naked.
“Later,
they would start demanding money from their victims, with the threat to expose
their nudity online should they fail to cooperate.
“Ladies
who thought it was a joke ended up having their nude photos posted online by
the suspects.”
The
Assistant Director, Army Public Relations, Major Ojo Adelegan, confirmed the
arrest of the suspects and said they have been handed over to the appropriate
security organisation for further action.
Adelegan,
however, refused to disclosed the identity of the suspects.
“I
can confirm their arrest, but they are no more with us; they have been handed
over to other security agency,” the Army spokesman stated.
In
the same vein, the Head of Public Relations Unit of the National Youths Service
Corps in Ondo State, Mrs. Christy Olatoye, also confirmed the arrest.
She
said the suspects were already in the custody of the Directorate of State
Security in the state.
She
said, “The matter is with the DSS, we can not interfere. All we need to do is
to give them any information they need. It is a criminal offence, we can’t stop
the DSS from doing their work.”
