Three persons were arrested in Sokoto Monday for allegedly circulating a video on social media while segxwally assaulting a 16-year-old girl.
According to the State Hisbah Commission, the victim was scheduled to get married on Oct. 17, but the marriage was called off as a result of the viral video circulated by the suspects.
Dr Adamu Kasarawa, the state Hisbah Commandant, told newsmen in Sokoto that the principal suspect, son of a political appointee in the state, and his two friends would be handed over to relevant authorities for prosecution.
Kasarawa said that the commission had concluded investigations into the matter and would ensure the prosecution of the case.

According to her, marriage arrangements have been concluded for her daughter, scheduled for Oct. 17, this year, when Baffa released the phonographic video of him segxwally abusing the girl.
