The police in Anambra State have arrested three persons including a woman for stripping and attacking her husband’s Facebook female friend.

The woman, Tochukwu Azota, allegedly attacked and stripped Okafor Ogochukwu her husband’s Facebook friend in their family house at Amawbia, Awka South local government of the state.

It was alleged that Mr.  Azota had Ogochukwu through Facebook before bringing her into their matrimonial home in Amawbia when the incident happened.

Our correspondent gathered that Mrs.  Azota had been monitoring her husband’s  conversation with Ogochukwu through his phone before she caught him with her on that fateful day.

She was said to have locked up the lovebirds in the room upon noticing the strange visitor, and went and procured the services of her friends who came back and gave the unwanted guest the beating of her life including stripping and chasing her out of gate naked.

A source in the family who pleaded anonymity said:  “The woman was stripped, beaten to a pulp and her nude video uploaded on the social media.

“We tried to interven but her assailants stopped everybody from coming in until they accomplished their mission and pushed the woman out of the gate naked.”

Confirming the incident,  the State Police Public Relations Officer, Haruna Mohammed, said three persons had already been arrested in connection with the matter, adding that the suspects would be charged to court after investigation.

“One Okafor Ogochukwu of Osile village Ogidi reported at Central Police Station Awka that she was invited by her male Facebook friend, one Ifeanyi Azota,  to his house at  Ezimezi village in Amawbia.

“All of a sudden a woman who claimed to be his wife, Azotani Tochukwu, appeared in the housed, one Ogochukwu Nwankwo (female) and locked her inside the bathroom for almost four hours and left.

“The women later came back with two big canes and opened the bathroom.

“While the suspect’s friend one Ogochukwu Nwankwo, stripped her naked and flogged her severally,  the principal suspect was busy video-taping the incident and thereafter pushed her out from the compound naked.

“The complainant further alleged that the principal suspect, Azotani Toochuckwu, called her on phone the following day and demanded the sum of N60,000 or they would post her nude video on the internet.”

Mohammed further said, “consequently, when the complainant refused to pay the money as requested, the principal suspect Azotani Tochukwu, actualised her threat and posted the naked video on the internet and since then the video has gone viral.

“The scene of  the incident had been visited by police detectives attached to Central Police Station Awka.”
