The Rivers State Police Command has arrested 27 parents and five senior pastors in connection with a disturbing viral video allegedly showing minors subjected to dehumanising treatment under the guise of “spiritual cleansing.”
Police Public Relations Officer, SP Grace Iringe-Koko, told journalists at the Eneka Divisional Police Station that the arrests followed an ongoing high-level investigation aimed at ensuring all perpetrators face justice.
She confirmed that 32 children linked to the incident had been rescued and placed in protective custody. (TVC)
