Mr Chinedu Ezeudu, a native of Ndi Ikpa village in the Ezinato community in Awka South Local Government Area of Anambra State, has been arrested for allegedly selling nude pictures and videos of a woman on social media for three thousand naira.
The man was accused of leaking the materials after attempts to get money from her through blackmail failed.
The man allegedly sold the nude videos of the young woman to people who requested them for a sum of N3,000.
The suspect was arrested after the victim made a report to the office of the State Commissioner for Women Affairs and Children’s Welfare, Mrs Ify Obinabo.
According to a media aide to the commissioner, Miss Chidinma Ikeanyionwu, “The victim said she lost her memory card in March 2023 but was later chatted up by the suspect in June, with a request for a huge amount of money in order not to leak the nude videos.
“When she refused to pay, the suspect threatened to post the video on all social media platforms but was confronted by the husband of the victim and asked to delete the video. Before then, he had already duplicated it.”
She said the suspect went ahead to release the video on Facebook, WhatsApp, and other social media platforms, including selling it to those who requested it.
Ikeanyionwu said: “When the incident was reported to the office of the commissioner for women and social welfare in Anambra State by the victim, accompanied by Hon. Ejike Okechukwu, the suspect was quickly arrested by the Anambra State Police Command.”
She said the suspect, who is currently in police custody, would be arraigned before the Children, Sexual, and Gender-Based Violence Court in Awka once the investigation is concluded.
