The Commissioner of Police, Imo State Command, CP Aboki Danjuma, has ordered an immediate and thorough investigation into a viral video showing a woman, identified as Mrs. Agu Ndididamaka, 55-year-old, of Umuakaliukwu Kindred, Uboegbelu, Azaraubo, Emekuku, being assaulted by a group of men.
This was made known through a statement made available to journalists by the Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Henry Okoye, on Monday.
According to the release, acting on the directive, the X-Squad Unit of the Police Command has commenced efforts to identify, arrest, and bring all individuals involved in the appalling act to justice without delay.
Meanwhile, preliminary investigation revealed that the victim was attacked by six men identified as Osuji Chiazor, Agu Azubike, Njoku Onyedikachi, Njoku Eugene, Njoku Dikachi, Njoku Emmanuel, and Iwuala Chukwuma.
The assault was allegedly carried out because the woman cooperated with police officers who had earlier visited the community for investigative purposes.
Consequently, efforts were ongoing to apprehend the suspects, after which they would be charged to court.
The Commissioner of Police strongly condemned the act, describing it as barbaric, inhuman, and totally unacceptable.
The Police warned that any form of jungle justice or intimidation of citizens who lawfully assist the police will not be tolerated under any circumstance.
