Anambra State Police arrested 36-year-old Anulika Onyeanusia in Onitsha following the circulation of a video allegedly depicting her engaging in inappropriate acts with a minor. During the arrest, officers rescued four children, aged two, three, six, and nine, and recovered items relevant to the investigation, including sex toys.

Onyeanusia has denied the allegations, claiming the video was generated using artificial intelligence. Police are currently investigating the potential involvement of other individuals, and the suspect’s husband is being interrogated to establish any connection to the alleged offenses.

Anambra State Commissioner of Police Nnanna Ama described the incident as “unacceptable” and ordered a professional investigation. Additionally, Nonye Soludo, wife of the Anambra Governor, condemned the reports as “deeply disturbing and beyond comprehension,” stating her commitment to coordinating medical, psychological, and social rehabilitation support for the rescued children.
