The Enugu State Police Command has advised young ladies to be wary of going out with unknown male partners.
The warning came amid a trending video where two young
ladies were said to have been rescued from a hotel room after a failed attempt
to harvest their organs.
However, in a statement made available to journalists on
Sunday by the Police Public Relations Officer, Enugu State Command, DSP Daniel
Ndukwe, he said the ladies, operating as commercial sex workers, were robbed by
their supposed male customers who tied them in the room with rope.
According to the statement, “The Enugu State Police Command
has intercepted a viral video showing two ladies alleged to have been rescued
from a hotel room in Enugu, where they were tied up in an attempt to harvest
their organs by two young men.
“The Command, therefore, wishes to state that, contrary to
the misleading narrative on the incident, preliminary investigation revealed a
case of demanding money with menaces and fraud, and not murder or human organs
or parts harvesting as being peddled.
“Further revealed is that the ladies, operating as
commercial sex workers, made out with the young men on July 3, 2024, in a hotel
(names withheld) along Agbani Road, Enugu.
“They had another appointment the following day and met the
suspects in the hotel where the incident occurred.
“At the hotel, the suspects beat and tied up the girls in
the hotel’s room toilet after menacingly demanding and obtaining their phones
and account details, including their Personal Identification Numbers (PINs).
They surreptitiously found their way out of the hotel before the victims were
rescued, as seen in the video.
“They further fraudulently withdrew a cumulative sum of one
hundred and twenty thousand (N120,000.00) from the victims’ accounts.”
Ndukwe added that “a bag containing two (2) kitchen knives
and sportswear the suspects left behind has been recovered, while an
intelligence-guided investigation to fish out and bring the fleeing suspects to
book is ongoing.
“Consequently, owners and managers of hotels have been
advised to exercise the highest standards of security alertness and ensure that
lodgers are properly screened, and their verifiable details obtained before
being accommodated.
“Moreover, young ladies have been cautioned against going
out with unknown persons, particularly males, under any guise to avoid falling
prey to similar criminals and their activities.”
