Three individuals – Samuel Gbenga, Marvelous Lucky, and Vera Asemota – have been apprehended by the Edo State Security Corps (ESSC) in connection with the alleged abduction, sexual abuse, and cyber-bullying of a 16-year-old girl. The suspects allegedly lured the minor to their hideout at Egbai community on Sapele Road, where she was subjected to sexual abuse and held captive.
The suspects reportedly stripped her naked, filmed her, and demanded a ransom of N2 million from her family before she was rescued. The victim recounted how she initially met one of the suspects online, posing as a female, and later visited them at their location, where she was drugged and held against her will. The suspects confessed to the crime, admitting to stripping the victim and uploading the video to her Facebook page.
The ESSC's Corps Commander, Richard Balogun, stated that the suspects were arrested after a thorough investigation, and the video evidence has been handed over to the police for further proceedings.
