The order for investigation is contained in a statement issued in Enugu on Saturday by police spokesman in the state, DSP Daniel Ndukwe.

The commissioner ordered the state Criminal Intelligence and Investigation Department to conduct a thorough investigation and bring up actionable findings on the allegation.

He stated that though the alleged sexual assault took place on March 18, 2022, the family of the 17-year-old detainee brought it up only recently.
