A fake COVID-19 task force team was on Tuesday night bursted
at Nkpor, Idemili North Local Government Area, near Onitsha while raping ladies
they arrested for not wearing face masks in their bus.
An eyewitness who gave his name as Friday Nweke said the
touts who posed as COVID-19 task force were violating the girls in the bus when
a tricycle hit the bus, causing them to flee, abandoning the girls and the bus.
The touts were said to have been using a Mitsubishi bus with
the registration number – Lagos CH675 LSR, but abandoned it when some members
of the public caught them trying to rape the ladies.
Nweke said, “They abandoned their bus in front of New Parts
Market, Nkpor, when some residents intercepted them yesterday (Tuesday) around
nine o’clock in the night.
“The members of the team were raping some girls they
abducted for not wearing face mask inside the bus, when a commercial tricyclist
hit the bus and alerted some boys living within the axis.
“The criminals left the bus and ran away before the boys in
the neighborhood smashed the windscreen and punctured the tyres of the bus in
anger.
Nweke also lamented the ugly activities of the fake COVID-19
task force and implored the government to ban the enforcement on the use of
face masks in totality considering that it is now being used to perpetuate
crime in the state.
Eyewitnesses said personal belongings of women including
pants, bra, clothes, wrapped moi-moi, COVID-19 task force aprons were scattered
in the bus.
The spokesperson for Anambra State Police Command, SP Haruna
Mohammed confirmed the incident, saying that a bus was found abandoned and has been
taken to the police station, while investigation continues.
