The Kogi State Police Command has arrested six students of the Federal University, Lokoja, on suspicion of cyberstalking and assault.
Among the arrested students are Inajo Henry, Nzekwe Victor, Lucky Victor, Lucky Gambo, and Paul David, along with one other 17-year-old male student of the institution.
According a statement issued on Tuesday by the command’s spokesperson, ASP Saliu Afusat, and made available to Journalists said the arrest followed a complaint by a male student about cyberstalking.
“The Kogi State Police Command wishes to inform the general public that on 30th March 2026, a case of criminal conspiracy, use of criminal force, defamation of character, assault, and cyberstalking was reported at ‘B’ Division, Lokoja, by one Oladosu Sunday ‘m’, a student of Federal University Lokoja. The case was subsequently transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID) for discreet and thorough investigation,” she said.
According to her, preliminary investigation revealed that the suspects, without any credible evidence, falsely accused the victim, Oladosu Sunday, of being homosexual and conspired to lure him to their apartment located beside Living Faith Church area, Felele, Lokoja, on 29th March 2026 at about 21:00 hours.
The suspects were said to have confined the victim in a room, forcibly stripped him naked, and subjected him to inhumane assault using belts and charging cords while recording the act.
The statement added that the video was thereafter circulated online, where it went viral among members of the university community.
