Man arrested for stripping Lady naked in Kogi.

Arome Danjuma, the primary suspect who is accused of ambushing and stripping a female naked in a viral video, has been detained by the Kogi State Police Command.

According to reports, Danjuma and his friend, who is still at large, committed the heinous deed in the state’s Dekina Local Government Area’s Achigili village near Abocho.

At a press conference held on Saturday at the command center in Lokoja, Police Public Relations Officer SP William Aya stated that investigations were still ongoing to catch the other suspect who was on the run.

The public strongly denounced the occurrence, and the state PPRO said that those responsible will face the full force of the law.

The culprit will shortly be charged to court, the police official further stated.

The survivor, who went by the name Alami, claimed that one of the accused made an attempt to marry her but she turned him down.

She described the situation, saying, “One of the guys asked me to marry him, but I declined. At around 8 o’clock on Sunday, the 19th of last week, when I was leaving work to go home, he assaulted me, dragged me inside his house, and began hitting me.

“Another person was waiting in his house carrying knife and axe threatening to kill me if I don’t pull off my cloth. I had no option but to obey them if not they would have killed me in the room. When I pulled off my cloth, they started filming my nakedness and later posted it on the internet. They just want to destroy my life”

The suspect, Danjuma, admitted his guilt during an interrogation, highlighting the fact that he had planned the atrocity with his friend.

The Director of Research Planning and Statistics, Ministry of Women Affairs, who is also the Secretary of the Kogi State GBV Technical Workgroup, responded to the occurrence by calling it one of the most savage in recent memory on behalf of the Commissioner of Women Affairs. He called the behavior “animalistic,” which he claimed would be illegal in the state.

Isaac stated that the ministry is working to stop all instances of gender-based violence in the state and issued a warning that anyone attempting to continue such behavior in Kogi State would face serious consequences.

Eunice Agbogun, the executive director of the Challenged Parenthood Initiative, expressed her reaction as well and called the conduct inhumane.

“This is the height of gender-based violence. This is a serious crime against humanity. We feel that this case must go through the entire process and justice must prevail. Am glad that the police have prevailed.

“We are glad that the perpetrator has been arrested and we have been assured by the police that justice will prevail.

“We will follow up on this case as this is a strong warning to other perpetrators of GBV out there as it will no longer be business as usual.”
