October 03, (THEWILL) – The Police Command in Edo State has arrested three persons suspected of assaulting a TikToK social media user identified as Olivia.
Following the viral video clip showing some young men assaulting and dehumanising a young woman, the Commissioner of Police, Philip Aliyu Ogbadu, directed a discreet investigation of the incident and an intelligence-based approach to unravelling those behind the dastardly act.
During the cause of information and intelligence gathering, the following suspects were arrested at different locations in Benin City, the state capital. They are Omozejele John (29), who was arrested on September 26, 2021 at Uteh Community in the Upper Mission Extension area; Smart Ogbeide (29) and Tajudeen Afesume (30), who was arrested in his hideout at Owina Quarters, also in Uteh Community.
The Police Public Relations Officer in the state, Kontongs Bello, said the three suspects arrested confessed to the crime and further confessed to being members of the Aye Secret Cult. They are presently cooperating with police investigations and are already providing useful information that will lead to the arrest of other cult members on the run.
He said that the Commissioner of Police has directed that the suspects should be charged to court, vowing that cult groups and other criminal elements will not be allowed to operate in the state
