Tanzanian police arrested four suspects linked to a gang rape of a girl that was filmed and shared online.
The video went viral, sparking outrage among rights groups who demanded justice for the brutal assault.
Police spokesman David Misime confirmed the arrests, stating that investigations are ongoing as authorities seek two more suspects still at large.
The arrested individuals planned and executed the attack.
Police located the victim, ensuring she receives support services, including psychological counseling.
Authorities are committed to her well-being, offering protection and assistance as she recovers from the trauma.
Former Ubungo mayor Boniface Jacob highlighted the incident on X, tagging President Samia Suluhu Hassan and police.
Jacob claimed the assailants might be Tanzanian armed forces, though this remains unverified.
Some individuals were arrested for spreading the video or false information, including claims that the victim and her mother died.
Police urged the public to be cautious about online content sharing.
