The Ogun State Police Command has confirmed that a young lady actually stripped herself and barked like a dog in Abeokuta, the Ogun State capital.
The state police spokesman, Abimbola Oyeyemi, said this in a statement on Friday.
Oyeyemi said the command was aware of the report of the yet-to-be-identified lady who might have been diabolically used for money ritual by a suspected internet fraudster otherwise called Yahoo boy.
Oyeyemi said, “The young lady in question was alleged to have been spiritually and diabolically used by a suspected yahoo boy, as a result of which she started barking like a dog.”
He said the victim was brought to the police without any clothes on her and was “very difficult to control because she was acting violently. He said she had to be kept in the cell.
The police spokesperson said the parents of the lady were contacted and they had taken her to the hospital with the help of the police.
Oyeyemi further disclosed that the “alleged Yahoo boy was immediately arrested for interrogation,” adding that the case which drew a large crowd to the station was later transferred to the State Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department on the directive of the Commissioner of Police, Lanre Bankole.
He said the command was sad that the video of the victim was circulating on social media.
He said, “The height of the embarrassment was the fact that the said video was recorded while the victim, who was then naked and uncontrollable, was in a police cell.
“In view of this, the Commissioner of Police, Lanre Bankole has ordered a full-scale investigation to unravel the source of the video and how it became a subject of social media discussion.
“It is barbaric, uncivilised and despicable circulating such video on social media as such will in no small measure denigrate the human dignity of the victim which might be another source of psychological trauma for her.
“The command has therefore vowed to deal with whoever is found to be the source of the video and those behind its circulation on social media in the most decisive manner notwithstanding the status of the person.
