The incident, which occurred on Sunday evening, unfolded when Samuel responded to Anastasia’s invitation and arrived at her home. The victim’s mother, Mrs. Onyeme, recounted that her son was attacked outside the house by Anastasia’s father and brothers.

She said, “Samuel told me they beat him with wooden planks, dragged him into their compound, and locked him in a dog cage. They even took his phone and lured me to the scene under false pretenses, only to detain me for two hours when I arrived.”

A human rights activist, Victor Ojei, intervened by reporting the matter to the Delta State Police Command. Officers mobilized to rescue Samuel at around 10:00 pm.

In a petition addressed to the Commissioner of Police and other authorities, Ojei demanded the immediate prosecution of Anastasia’s family members for offenses including unlawful detention, assault, and attempted murder. He described their actions as “barbaric and inhumane.”

Samuel is currently receiving treatment for injuries and trauma at Asaba Specialist Hospital.

The Delta State Police Command is yet to comment on the incident.
