Operatives of the Anambra State Police Command have arrested a 36-year-old woman in Onitsha following open-source intelligence regarding a trending video depicting the alleged sexual abuse of a minor.
The operation, which took place on the evening of September 10, 2026, resulted in the rescue of four children—aged two, three, six, and nine years—alongside the recovery of sex toys and other incriminating items related to the case.
According to the Command, preliminary investigations are underway, and the spouse of the suspect is also being questioned.
“The suspect is currently in police custody as the Command intensifies its investigation into the circumstances surrounding the alleged offence and the possible involvement of other persons,” the Command stated.
“The husband of the suspect is also undergoing interrogation to determine whether he has any connection with the alleged offence.”
Reacting to the development, the Commissioner of Police, Anambra State Command, CP Nnanna Ama, psc, expressed deep concern, describing the act as unacceptable due to the vulnerability and exploitation of the children involved. He directed a thorough investigation and ordered that the rescued minors be given immediate protection and welfare support.
“To this end, the Command notes that beyond the investigation and prosecution, its priority is the safety, dignity and wellbeing of the rescued children.
“The Command will work with the appropriate child-protection and relevant support agencies to ensure that the victims receive the necessary care, protection, counselling and other support required for their recovery.
“Their identities and privacy will be protected throughout the process, and they will be treated with compassion and sensitivity,” it added.
It also commended the vigilante operatives in the area, as well as bloggers and residents who provided information that assisted the investigation and led to the arrest of the suspect.
