“The Kogi State Police Command wishes to inform the general

The case was subsequently transferred to the State Criminal
Investigation Department for discreet and thorough investigation,” she wrote.
According to her, “Following diligent investigation, the
command arrested the following suspects: Inajo Henry, Nzekwe Victor, Lucky
Victor, Lucky Gambo, and Paul David, along with one other (a 17-year-old
minor), all male students of the Federal University, Lokoja.
She said preliminary investigation revealed that the
suspects, without any credible evidence, falsely accused the victim, Oladosu
Sunday, of being homosexual and conspired to lure him to their apartment
located beside the Living Faith Church area, Felele, Lokoja, on March 29, 2026,
at about 2100hrs.
The suspects confined the victim in a room, forcibly
stripped him naked, and subjected him to inhumane assault using belts and
charging cords while recording the act.
She noted that the video was thereafter circulated online,
where it went viral among members of the university community.
“The suspects admitted during interrogation that their
actions were premeditated and based solely on unverified assumptions about the
victim’s behaviour.
The PPRO said the investigation into the case has been
concluded and the suspects have been arraigned before a court of competent
jurisdiction.
“The Kogi State Police Command reiterates that acts of
jungle justice, cyberbullying, and all forms of criminality will not be
tolerated under any guise.
The command, therefore, warns members of the public,
particularly youths and students, to desist from taking the law into their
hands or engaging in acts capable of violating the fundamental rights and
dignity of others. Individuals with grievances are advised to seek lawful means
of redress through appropriate authorities.
“The
police remain committed to protecting the rights of all citizens and ensuring
that offenders are brought to justice.
The
Commissioner of Police, Naziru Bello Kankarofi, reassures the people of Kogi
State of the Command’s commitment to safeguarding lives and property and urges
continued cooperation with the police in the fight against crime,” she added.
