Bang-raped
Perhaps the three students of the School of Health Technology, Akure, Ondo State, who allegedly gang-raped a year one student of the institution had reckoned that the victim would not want the matter reported for fear of stigmatisation, hence the audacity to commit the alleged crime right inside the girl’s boyfriend’s house, not far from the school premises. This is much more so as they threatened to upload the video if she told anyone about her ordeal.
We cannot wait to see this happen. What they have allegedly done is grievous and the only way to ensure justice is to see them prosecuted, and if found guilty, made to pay the price to deter others who might have the same inclination like them. It is the height of the moral decadence in the society. We deplore the growing incidence of rape, especially in our higher institutions. In 2017, five students of Adeyemi College of Education, Ondo, and Rufus Giwa Polytechnic, Owo, in Ondo State also allegedly gang-raped a student who reportedly jilted her lover for another man. The suspected rapists were: Solomon Timilehin, Olagbaju Tobi, Adetuyi Olakunle, Adeyemi Adebisi and Eric Nwage.
We however praise the courage of the victim for speaking out, especially in our kind of environment where rape victims sulk silently instead of making their ordeals known to the public, for fear of stigmatisation.
