Police in Plateau State arrest female students linked to a viral video showing an alleged assault of another female student in Pankshin Local Government Area.
The reports say the incident involves students and circulates online, prompting police action. The Plateau State Police Commissioner condemns actions outside due process, including “jungle justice,” and also points to cybercrime concerns related to how such content spreads. While both outlets describe the arrests and the location and timing around the viral clip, they do not provide detailed, consistent accounts of the circumstances in the video or the number of students detained. The emphasis differs slightly between outlets: one highlights the commissioner’s warning against extrajudicial punishment and cybercrime, while the other focuses more directly on the police statement confirming the arrests.
Authorities indicate they are investigating the matter following the video’s circulation, with the arrests framed as steps to address the alleged assault and the wider issue of online dissemination.
