Facebook Account Allegedly Used to Lure Another Victim
The police further alleged that the suspect used Facebook under the name “Franklin Umeh” to establish contact with another woman before luring her to a location in Enugu on October 4, 2026.
According to the report, the 21-year-old victim was subsequently taken to a bush around Udi Siding, where she was allegedly raped, sexually assaulted and recorded in nude images. The suspect reportedly stole ₦100,000 and her mobile phone before threatening to circulate the video unless she paid ₦200,000.
The police also alleged that the suspect used the victim’s phone to contact some of her WhatsApp contacts.
