The video shows one of the arrested suspects having sex with the woman while his friends shot the clip, and an official said the complainant reported that her daughter’s marriage had been fixed for October 17 but has now been cancelled because the fiancé opted out of it after the sex video surfaced on some social media platforms.

”The boy deceived the girl and took her to a hotel and shot her nude video. Now, after she got a husband and she is preparing for marriage, he suddenly released the video. We interrogated the boy’, Kasarawa said.

‘He confessed that the incident happened in a hotel and we arrested two of his friends that he shared the video with. They also confessed that they received the video.The damage has been done as a result of bad parenting. The boy deliberately shot the video to destroy the girl’s life. Now, he said he will not marry her,” he said.
