January 20, 2023Some gun-wielding robbers have reportedly raided a hostel of the Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka, Anambra State and raped about nine female students of the university.
It was gathered that the armed robbers numbering about 20 and armed with various weapons including guns, axes and matchets, stormed the hostel located at Ifite road in Awka, the state capital and shot indiscriminately as they moved from room to room robbing the students of their valuables and raping the female students.
From their hiding place, they heard a loud noise of female students shouting for help but nobody could summon the courage to stop the armed robbers as they were fully armed and some persons who attempted to resist the robbers were seriously beaten and injured.
