The Enugu State Police Command yesterday said it did not receive any reported case of rape and sexual assault in the musical concert held in Enugu.
The Spokesman of the Command, SP Ebere Amaraizu, told journalists in Enugu that the social media report purportedly obtained from a twitter handle message that some people were raped in the event was unfounded.
Amaraizu said that the doors of the command were open for anybody with any case of rape or sexual assault as well as any other incident to make a report .
He said: “The newspaper report which is based on a twitter message in social media, is unfounded and we cannot operate on speculation as a law enforcement agency. Till now, nobody has come forward to report any case of sexual assault or molestation and rape to the command.”
Amaraizu further explained that as far as the musical concert was concerned it was hitch-free and a huge success, as the police and other security operatives were at the venue.
According to him, “We provided adequate policing of the musical concert venue and its adjoining roads. Our personnel ensured that there was law and order in the event proper.”
