Police in Tamale have launched investigations into the alleged assault, filming and attempted blackmail of a young woman after a nude video of her was circulated on social media.
According to the victim’s account, she was in a vehicle with a man when two men approached them under circumstances that remain unclear.
The woman alleged that the suspects forcibly dragged her out of the vehicle while she was naked and physically assaulted her as they recorded videos of the incident, despite her pleas for them to stop.
She further claimed that the man she was with stepped out of the vehicle, spoke briefly with the suspects and later left the scene.
“I believe he gave them something [money] so they didn’t release his video and they left him,” she alleged.
According to the victim, one of the suspects later obtained her phone number and contacted her, allegedly demanding sex in exchange for deleting the footage. She claimed he threatened to publicly release the video if she refused.
The woman said she later agreed to meet the suspect but managed to escape after he allegedly attempted to sexually assault her.
The videos were subsequently circulated online.
Police have since commenced investigations into the incident and are reportedly tracking the suspects for arrest.
