The Enugu State Police Command has nabbed a masquerade (popularly called Oriokpa) seen physically assaulting a female nurse (name withheld) at Ugwuoye Junction in Nsukka metropolis.
This was conveyed in a statement released by the command’s spokesman, DSP Daniel Ndukwe, on Thursday, 23rd of May, 2024 in Enugu.
Ndukwe stated that policemen serving in the Nsukka Sector of the Command’s Anti-Cultism Tactical Squad, on 12th of May, 2024 around 3.45 p.m., intercepted and arrested a masquerade.
He said that the masquerader was later identified as Ugwuoke Ebube, 22 years old and a resident of Enugu-Nsukka Road.
According to Ndukwe, an investigation into the case suggests that the suspect was part of a group of masqueraders that also assaulted another female nurse on a motorcycle, as captured in a viral video in April.
The statement reads,
“He was arraigned in the Nsukka Magistrate Court of Enugu State, Nigeria, but was granted bail by the court.
“The state’s Commissioner of Police, Mr Kanayo Uzuegbu, has condemned the act of assault.
“The commissioner warned those intending to hide under the guise of cultural celebration to commit such a criminal act of assault against fellow citizens to desist forthwith,”.
Ndukwe quoted the Commissioner as saying that the Command will henceforth not hesitate to bring anyone found wanting to book, just as in the case at hand. [CONTINUE READING HERE]>>>>
