You are sent to school to study and become useful to the
society but lately the rate at which the case of rape is being reported in our universities these days
is alarming? Is because the gang rape at Abia
State University last year, who had the audacity to
shoot a video of their sexual assault of the victim were not given capital punishment, that this one is happening AGAIN?
Four students of the University of Lagos were on Tuesday charged before an Ebute Meta Magistrates’ Court in Lagos for allegedly gang raping a 17-year-old girl. The accused – Jeremiah Bamigbayan, 18; Lanre Olayemi, 19; Abisoye Atoyegbe, 18; and Nelson Onyeoziri, 18 – are facing a three-count charge of rape, conspiracy and assault.
They pleaded not guilty to the charges. But the prosecutor, ASP Innocent Effiong, said the accused, all of the Business Administration Department, allegedly committed the offence when they conspired and raped their victim on March 17.
He said the alleged victim, a student of History and Strategic Studies of the same university, was overpowered and raped at about 10.30 p.m. at Ozolua Boys Quarters on the campus. Effiong said the offences contravened Section 258, 259 and 409 of the Criminal Code, Laws of Lagos State 2011. Magistrate Adesola Ikpatt granted the accused bail in the sum of N100, 000 each, with two sureties each in like sum. She adjourned the case to April 30 for mention.

Shameless students,they don't know that what goes around comes around.
This is the future of the children,the fact that this is happening again and the last time ds happened was not properly addressed,it was not even debatable, of course this was properly handled this will not reoccur
ReplyDeleteN00,000 bail each that is too small so they cant afford it and then they spend weeks in detention and they are forced to reflect on their lives....bastards
ReplyDeleteWHAT? Again?
ReplyDeleteThe victim must be in shock,poor girl
ReplyDeleteLet the parents of the girl make sure justice prevails
ReplyDeleteshe will end up hating men when she grows up, hope she goes for counciling...its a pity
ReplyDeleteso sad
ReplyDeleteThis very distasteful, its criminal and nobody shld be praised for such,they shld be given capital punishment
ReplyDeleteWe live a a country all man to himself so parents shld tae active role on what's going with their kids whether they are bothers or not
ReplyDeleteMrs Udu most times parents are running up down trying to fend for the family and ignore the crucial part of being parents,but u cant blame them,the country as a whole has no strong legal backings..it a big shame.
ReplyDeleteSo who is to be blamed on this one, the govt or the student, that last comment is wrong bc if these children are well brought this wont be happening
ReplyDeleteI quite agree with Carol, this time I think the govt has nothing to do with this...everything we blame govt, take good at what is happening in ur home, charity begins at home
ReplyDeleteYou guys shld think beyond this,there 5factors that contributed to this,the girl,the boys,lecturers,parents and the govt....if the girl/boz were well brought up this wont happen, if lecturers during course of lecture raise values ie topics that make this kids reflect +vely abt their lives this wont happen, if parents play their roles being close to their kids,teach the ways of God this wont happen and govt showing good examples as leaders this wont happen,in fact ds country will be a better place to live,than this lawlesness all around,home school,offices etc.
ReplyDeleteThis is long long story,let them burn them to ashes next anyone thinks of such abominable act will think twice
ReplyDeleteNigeria what fit most people is iron hand, bundle these idot and teach them d lesson of their lives, for the main fact that they raped the girl whether she went to their place or not shldnt be a question.
ReplyDeleteWhat is this world turning into?
