The X-Squad Unit of the Imo State Police Command has commenced investigation into a viral video which showed six men attacking a lady in Emekuku, Owerri North Local Government Area of the state.
The probe followed a directive issued by the state Commissioner of Police, CP Aboki Danjuma.
The assaulted woman, identified as Mrs. Agu Ndididamaka, 55 years old, hails from Umuakaliukwu Kindred, Uboegbelu, Azaraubo, Emekuku.
The X-Squad Unit is to identify, arrest, and bring all individuals involved in the appalling act to justice without delay.
A statement issued by the Command’s spokesman, Deputy Superintendent of Police DSP Henry Okoye disclosed that preliminary investigation identified her attackers as Osuji Chiazor, Agu Azubike, Njoku Onyedikachi, Njoku Eugene, Njoku Dikachi, Njoku Emmanuel, and Iwuala Chukwuma.
It was gathered that the assault was allegedly carried out because the woman cooperated with police officers who earlier visited the community for investigative purposes.
Consequently, police have launched a manhunt for the suspects, after which they will be charged to court.
The Commissioner of Police condemned the act, describing it as barbaric, inhuman, and totally unacceptable.
He warned that any form of jungle justice or intimidation of citizens who lawfully assist the police will not be tolerated under any circumstance.
