The Anambra State Police command has condemned the assault on a female corp member in Oba, Idemili south local government area by operatives of the state vigilante group.
Spokesperson for the state Police command, SP Tochukwu Ikenga in a statement on Tuesday confirmed that the suspects involved in the incident have been identified.
The statement read in part;
“Following the incident, the suspects involved have been identified. The Command, however, notes that the alleged victim’s unavailability has temporarily stalled the ongoing investigative process.
“Meanwhile, the Command has reiterated that assault in any form remains a criminal offence under the Nigerian Law and reserves the right to take necessary legal action to aid the court proceedings while waiting for the victim.
“The Command hereby reassures Corps members serving across the State of its unwavering commitment to their protection, urging them to always report incidents of harassment, intimidation, or abuse for prompt intervention.
“The Command further cautions vigilante groups and other quasi-security outfits against acts of brutality or abuse of authority, warning that any such misconduct will not be condoned.”
