Operatives of the Delta State Command of the Nigeria Police Force detained an 18-year-old named Sunday Linus for falsely accusing an elderly woman of theft involving his private parts.
DSP Bright Edafe, the Delta State Police Public Relations Officer, revealed this information on Wednesday, noting that the GRA Division police officers intervened to save the woman from a crowd of over 100 individuals intent on harming her due to the false accusation.
DSP Edafe mentioned that the woman is currently receiving medical care at an undisclosed hospital while the suspect is in police custody.
Simultaneously, the police have initiated a manhunt for all individuals shown in a video attacking and assaulting the woman.
“On Sunday 8th October 2023 at DBS Road Asaba, this 18-year-old suspect Ebube Linus raised a false alarm that an old woman inside a tricycle touched him and his manhood (penis) disappeared.
Over 100 misguided touts gathered and mobbed this woman, stripping her naked and beating her to a stupor to the point of almost killing her.
“The Command was contacted and the DPO GRA division Asaba led policemen to the scene, rescued the woman, and arrested the suspect who we later discovered that nothing was wrong with him, as his manhood is intact.
” He just lied against a poor woman, a mother, a daughter, and a wife. Now the video of her being beaten and stripped naked is all over the internet.
“Does this make any sense? Why embark on self-help? why jungle justice? We are hunting for everybody on that video and they will be arrested and dealt with in accordance with the law alongside the suspect.”
