Police arrest masquerade suspected to have flogged female nurse until she fell in a gutter in Enugu
Police Operatives serving in the Nsukka Sector of the Enugu State Command’s Anti-Cultism Tactical Squad, have arrested a ‘’masquerade” popularly called Oriokpa, caught on tape physically assaulting a female victim at Ugwuoye Junction, Nsukka.
The man behind the masquerade costume was later identified as Ugwuoke Ebube “m”, aged 22, of Enugu Road, Nsukka.
A statement released by DSP Daniel Ndukwe, says an investigation into the case suggests that the suspect was part of a group of masqueraders that similarly assaulted a female nurse riding a motorcycle, as captured in a viral video in April 2024. He was arraigned in the Nsukka Magistrate Court of Enugu State, Nigeria on Wednesday, May 22, 2024, but was granted bail by the court.
Ndukwe mentioned that the state Commissioner of Police, CP Kanayo Uzuegbu while condemning the act, has warned those intending to hide under the guise of culturally celebrating masquerades to commit such criminal acts of assault against fellow citizens to desist forthwith. He stressed that the Command will henceforth not hesitate to bring anyone found wanting to book, just as in the case at hand.
