The husband of 36-year-old Anulika Onyeanusia, who was arrested by the Anambra State Police Command for allegedly using a sex toy on her underage daughter, has recounted how he discovered the alleged sexual abuse.
Ikechukwu Onyeanyusi said he was informed about the incident by a friend who showed him a video of his wife allegedly using a sex toy on their daughter.
He said he was returning from his business on Thursday evening when his friend called him and showed him the video.
Speaking in a video posted on Saturday on the Facebook page of the Ministry of Women and Social Welfare, Anambra State, Onyeanyusi said he had not seen the video on social media before his friend brought it to his attention.
He said, “I saw the video. It was my wife, and I saw my daughter. She was molesting the child.
“I got a kind of confused and ‘What is this? What is happening? Could this be true?’ Immediately, I wanted to leave, but my friend held me. He said no, no, I should calm down, I should take it easy.”
Onyeanyusi said he later confronted his wife about the video, but she initially denied the allegation and claimed that the video was generated using artificial intelligence.
“I came to her, and I asked her, ‘What exactly is this that I saw on the internet?’ She said what? ‘I saw your video molesting my daughters. How come this happened?’ She said no. That it’s not true,” he recounted.
According to him, when he asked her how she could deny what he had seen, she maintained that the video was not genuine.
“I saw you! I saw your video! I saw everything, and you are telling me it’s not true? What makes it not to be true?”
“And she said that it’s AI,” he said.
Onyeanyusi said he returned to his friend and told him about his wife’s explanation, asking whether the video could actually have been generated by AI.
He said the police arrived at his residence shortly afterwards and searched the premises before arresting his wife.
“Before I knew it, police have already come to my house. They said they want to search. I said to them, ‘Okay.’ So they did all the searching they did, they arrested her and all of us left,” he said.
