The Ebonyi State Police Command has apprehended Dennis Ali and Ituma Sunday, the primary suspects, in a disturbing viral video where two teenage girls were stripped, flogged, and dehumanized.
The incident occurred in November 2023 at Ojiegbe Ngbo community in Ohaukwu Local Government Area of the state.
The State Police Spokesman, DSP Joshua Ukandu made this known in a press release yesterday in Abakaliki.
