“Sequel to the viral tweet of assault on a female teenager in Lafia, Nasarawa State, the Command swiftly commenced an investigation into the case. It is gratifying to state that, two suspects have been arrested in connection with the case while the vehicle used in conveying the victim to an undisclosed location where she was assaulted has been recovered.

Effort is ongoing to arrest the remaining suspects still at-large,” they tweeted.

The PUNCH had reported that the police was investigating the case of the physical abuse of a young lady seen in viral videos being beaten and having her cloth cut with scissors.

The videos were posted by a tweep, Agatha Akaahar, who revealed that the incident had escalated from a fight between the victim and her friend over a phone number.

Our correspondent who observed the video saw the yet-to-be-identified lady being flogged by two men and two ladies, while the recording took place.
