Three
persons have been arrested by operatives of the Edo State Police Command in
connection with a video in which one Miss Favour Ada was stripped and tortured
for alleged theft.
Ada
was allegedly accused of stealing an iPhone worth over N440,000 at Ugbiyoko, a
suburb of Benin.
The
video, which went viral on the social media, showed the 25-year-old lady being
stripped and tortured before pepper was forced into her private parts by her
attackers.
A
source at the Edo State Police Command told Southern City News in confidence
that three suspects were already in their custody.
“Yes,
three suspects have been arrested. They were picked up at the Ugbiyoko area of the
town. They accused her (Ada) of stealing an iPhone worth about N440,000, and
did all that to her,” the source said.
It
was learnt that the victim, who was seriously injured as a result of the
attack, was currently recuperating at the intensive care unit of the University
of Benin Teaching Hospital.
Efforts
to get the state Police Public Relations Officer, Chidi Nwabuzor, to speak on
the development failed, as he was said to be in Abuja with the State
Commissioner of Police, Hakeem Odumosu.
