He has also directed specialized operatives of the Anti-Cultism Squad, Juvenile Welfare Unit, and the State Intelligence Department to work collaboratively to Verify the authenticity and origin of the video, Identify the victim and ensure his safety and wellbeing, Identify and apprehend all individuals involved or complicit in the act


The CP condemns in strong terms any form of child abuse, indoctrination, harassment, psychological grooming, or forced initiation, stating that such acts will not be tolerated under any circumstances in the State. He therefore called on any member of the public with credible information that can assist the ongoing investigation to come forward. Voluntary information may also be reported through the following contact channels 112, 07039194332, or the PRO on 08039334002.
