In a significant development regarding a disturbing video that has been circulated on social media, lawmen have now arrested the boys who are said to have been involved in the incident.

The video which came to light sometime last week depicts inappropriate behaviour involving one girl and multiple boys.

The police are urging the public to refrain from sharing the clip as this can further traumatise the victim and by extension affect the successful outcome of the case.

The lawmen are also reminding citizens that sharing such content may constitute a breach of the Child Pornography (Prevention Act), and persons found guilty are subject to imprisonment for up to 20 years.
