Police Arrest Woman For ‘Using Sex Toys’ On Minor In Anambra

The Anambra State Police Command has arrested 36-year-old woman Anulika Onyeanusia over a  video allegedly showing her “using a sex toy”on a minor.

It was gathered that Onyeanusia allegedly used the child to create adult content for financial benefit during a TikTok livestream on Thursday.

The video was later widely shared online, leading to public outrage and calls for police intervention.

The command’s spokesperson, SP Tochukwu Ikenga, confirmed the arrest in a statement issued on Thursday, saying it followed the widespread reaction to the video.

Police said four children, aged two, three, six and nine, were also rescued following the arrest.

He said sex toys and other items believed to be connected to the investigation were recovered.

Onyeanusia remains in police custody as detectives investigate the alleged offence and work to determine whether other people were involved.

Police said her husband is also being questioned over his possible connection to the incident.

The Anambra State Commissioner of Police, CP Nnanna Oji Ama, described the alleged act as disturbing and unacceptable, particularly because it involved the exploitation and abuse of children.

“The Commissioner of Police, Anambra State Command, CP Nnanna Oji Ama, psc, who is deeply disturbed by the alleged act, described it as unacceptable, particularly because it involves the exploitation and abuse of children who are incapable of protecting themselves,” the statement reads in part.

“He has therefore directed a thorough and professional investigation while ensuring that the rescued children receive appropriate care and protection.”

The police command said protecting the safety and wellbeing of the children remains its main priority.

It assured that the children would receive the necessary care and support while their identities are kept confidential.
