Police arrest masquerader suspected of flogging female nurse in Enugu
Police Operatives serving in the Nsukka Sector of the Enugu State Command’s Anti-Cultism Tactical Squad, have arrested a ‘’masquerade” popularly called Oriokpa, caught on tape physically assaulting a female victim at Ugwuoye Junction, Nsukka.
The man behind the masquerade costume was later identified as Ugwuoke Ebube “m”, aged 22, of Enugu Road, Nsukka.
A statement released by DSP Daniel Ndukwe, says an investigation into the case suggests that the suspect was part of a group of masqueraders that similarly assaulted a female nurse riding a motorcycle, as captured in a viral video in April 2024. He was arraigned in the Nsukka Magistrate Court of Enugu State, Nigeria on Wednesday, May 22, 2024, but was granted bail by the court.
