The Police in Ebonyi state says it has arrested 10 people in connection with the torture of a pastor, Okochi Chukwu Obeni.
The Pastor was publicly humiliated for a Facebook post criticizing the Afikpo North local government chairman, Hon. Ogbonnia Oko Enyim.

He was tried and punished by the Traditional Council of his Amasiri community known as the Essa and Isi Oru.
His punishment included being flogged in public. A video of the cleric being flogged went viral and led to outrage

In the video, he was stripped down to his shorts. His hands were tied behind his back, and he was mercilessly flogged. Dirty water, sand, and grass were also poured on him.
While he was being flogged in public, he was forced to recant his statement criticizing the LGA Chairman.
He ended up in the hospital following the incident and he took to Facebook to say his hand has been paralyzed as a result.

Following outcries and condemnations that greeted the incident, the Police on Wednesday, May 20, announced the arrest of Julius Amadi Nyerere and 9 others for the assault.
Police Spokesman in the state, Loveth Odah stated this in a statement.

So no body has the freedom of speech in this country anymore. Criticizing a local government chairman is as deadly as coro virus. God help us ooooo

Igbo amaka.. basterrd fuckers

Power of Social media! I wondered if anything would have been done if it hadn’t been captured on video

Well am not surprised at all, since critisizing our so-called “command in chief” is a crime, we could all see what they did to Sowore, They said he insulted Buhari, we all see what and how the Americans use to criticize and even go as far as body shame and abuse Donald Trump, all he does is to talk back at them , because he knows the rule of law must prevail! #RevolutionNow
