The police said the suspects were released on bail, pending further legal action.
PRO Sisawo added that the arrestees were charged with obstructing a police officer in the execution of his duties, assaulting a police officer in the due execution of his duties, disobedience to lawful orders, wilful damage to property, prohibition of conduct, and conspiracy to commit felony.
He said all thirty-three (33) youths arrested were charged with six charges.
On Friday, June 21, 2024, the police arrested nineteen individuals following a violent attack on NgainSanjal Police Station, sparked by villagers demanding the release of a suspect accused of magical emasculation (snatching manhood). This led to property damage and injuries to officers who were later hospitalised.
