"One of the suspects has also admitted to the crime," he said in a statement.

The case, he said, is being investigated under Section 14(a) of the Sexual Offences Against Children Act 2017, which carries a jail term of up to 20 years and whipping upon conviction.
"I would also like to remind parents and guardians to continuously monitor your children especially when they use social media.
"Also, we would like to urge the public to report to us if they see children being harassed,” he said, adding that they should not share any clips on social media to protect the identities of the childre,n but to surrender these to the police.
