The Delta police command has arrested one Cornelius Emene and two other persons for the alleged kidnapping and gang-r*ping of young girls in the state.
Bright Edafe, the command’s spokesperson, announced their arrest in a statement sent to TheCable Lifestyle on Wednesday.
Edafe said Emene was arrested after one of the victims kidnapped by his team in 2022 alerted police operatives.
The lady had in her complaint to the police said her abductors held her hostage at a hotel in the Iwherekpokpor community in Ughelli North LGA.
She also said they took her n*de pictures and recorded her on video while inserting a candle in her private part.
The lady further said her abductors thereafter used the video to blackmail her and forced her parents to “pay huge ransom”.
Edafe said a preliminary investigation showed Emene and his gang usually lure their victims through Facebook.
