Police in Tamale have arrested a suspect in connection with the assault and circulation of a viral sex video involving a young woman.
The suspect, identified as Abdullai Abdul Wadudu, is currently in police custody assisting with investigations.
According to police sources, the suspect is alleged to have been involved in the assault of the victim, the filming of the incident, and the subsequent circulation of the explicit video on social media, an act that sparked widespread public outrage and concerns over violence against women and digital abuse.
He is expected to appear before court today, Tuesday, May 19, 2026.
The case has generated significant public discussion in Tamale and beyond, with many residents and gender advocates calling for justice for the victim and stricter punishment for individuals involved in non-consensual recording and distribution of intimate content.
Rights activists say the incident highlights the growing problem of technology-facilitated abuse, particularly against women and girls, warning that the sharing of explicit material without consent can have severe psychological, emotional, and social consequences for victims.
Police say investigations are ongoing, and further arrests may be made as authorities work to identify all persons connected to the incident.
