Five of the students, Moboluwaji Omowole, 19, Chuka Chukwu, 19, Peace Nwankama, 19, James Aguedu, 20 and Osemeka Josephine, 20 were arraigned on a three-count charge of defilement of a child, permitting the defilement of a child in a premises and procuration before Justice Abiola Soladoye.
The lead state prosecutor, Mrs. K.A Momoh-Ayokambi, said the defendants alongside others committed the offences in January 2017 at the premises of UNILAG, Akoka, Yaba, Lagos.
While being led in evidence by Momoh-Ayokambi, the survivor told the court that she became friends with Nwankama (the third defendant) who was her roommate and very close friend when she moved into the school hostel at the inception of the 2016/2017 academic session, and how she lured her to be gang raped by the defendants.
Narrating her ordeal,She also told the court in details how she was gang raped, subjected to series of s#xual assault by some of the defendants and their accomplices.
She said while all these were going on, there was a guy who was video recording all that was happening on a phone.
She said when they were through, they led her outside the building and told her they had a video of what happened and that if she doesn’t want “to be popular” in school, she must answer them anytime they wanted to have s#x.
She further told the court that between one and two weeks after the alleged incident, she was subjected to more gang raping and s#xual assault by the members of the group.
However,rumours about the video tape began to make rounds in the school premises. a friend of hers who found out about her ordeal brought the incident to the attention of the school authorities who then arrested some of the guys,the survivor said.
She also mentioned that the some of the defendant parents tried bribing she and her parents with 5million to drop the case.
The students, who pleaded not guilty to the charge, have been remanded in Kirikiri prisons by the trial judge while others were said to be still at large.
Justice Soladoye has adjourned the case until March 18.

*Parents trying to bribe the victim with five million naira?JESUS!!!
But women betraying women like we read on this blog, is it not from somewhere they start?
ReplyDeleteShe should have collected the N5m sef!
DeleteThe trauma is real but 5m will go a bit far in consolation.
Nobody should menstruate under my comment pls. This is my opinion. Any insults, back to the sender in advance!
There is no need. U have mensurated over urself. 5m is compared to repeated gang rape? Not a one time thing o! Nawa for you
DeleteGod help me to raise godly seeds.
ReplyDeleteThey will start attending ACM, catch them young for Christ
what kind of children are we breeding biko? this is pure wickedness,those students deserve to rot in jail.Meawhile laura ikeji has appologized to Amara Kanu.
ReplyDeleteSuch a sad story
ReplyDeleteThose students should be dealt with
The parents who are bribing should ask themselves, what if it were their own children, would they condone such and bribe to make it go away.
ReplyDeleteI hope and pray the girl recovers from the evil acts she has been subjected to.
Oh, my God!!! These are the kind of parents our youngsters wants to emulate. Please, the survivor needs urgent psychological attention. And, the IGP should make sure that those parent do not succeed in bribing "others."
ReplyDeleteThe parents are useless why are you bribing when there is confirmation the stupid child raped the girl continuously smh! They should be arrested for trying to bribe. Will 5m clear her name and what she went through?
ReplyDeleteDear parents of the above serial rapists, I know how bad you may feel or not feel but for any of you who will try to keep your child away from the appropriate punishment any of them deserves, you will suffer a grievous consequence.
ReplyDeleteThat child will become a monster that will destroy your family and himself.
This is a curse, and it is standing already.
I have a nightmare all through the night because of this story. These boys are not just rapists but demonised human beings, unfit for the society. They should be made to serve atleast 14years in prison for it. It will give them an oppournity to reflect on the evil they have done and then repent from it.
Thank you for this.
DeleteWd9 should make this go viral so that justice would not be denied
I totally agree with you. it is very sad for teenagers to be this evil most especially her roomate abi friend. she will reap the evil she has sown.
DeleteShameless parents that raised monsters!
ReplyDeleteoh my God... wicked souls everywhere,I wish the victim quick and sound recovery.

Oh God this is so sad
ReplyDeleteLet the Rapist Boys Do their University and PhD Education in Jail.. Useless Hooligans..
ReplyDeleteUseless children from useless parents
ReplyDeletewhen parents warn you not to kegbe kegbe you wont hear. i also went to the University and i remained a virgin till i finished ( my choice) no papa or mama near me , i schooled far away and if you see my shape, i set wella, but my papa warning always followed me. you get belle and i disown you. dont follow friends anywhere, go to class, go to church and stay in your hostel till you are matured enough with street sense. if na me o, that friend that lured me will die. i will arrange her death spiritually. what wickedness
ReplyDeleteOh please. You don’t need to hype your average self to drive home your sanctimonious and shrewd point. A beautiful and reserved close friend of mine was raped on her way to church on a bright Sunday morning a few years ago. Raped right there on the bus she boarded and was asked to recite psalm 23 while they raped her and laughed.
DeleteThe girl was naive but don’t make her seem like a fool for acting her age. From personal and shared experience I know rape can happen anywhere. I never had a university experience but people close to me say it’s a fun time when you explore and build friendships.
Ivannah
I almost cried imagining what that girl must have gone through....I hope she pulls through this ordeal both physically and emotionally.
ReplyDeletePlease they should remain in kirikiri awaiting trial for the next 14 years
ReplyDeleteNo be those same parents buy phones give them kids at 8 years of age
ReplyDeleteThose same parents been dey watch those kids watch porn with the phones
Now their market don arrive.
Sorry girl, may God heal you.
ReplyDeleteThis case will reset the brain of every youth out there. it needs to run its full course they should get nothing less than 10 years each in jail, fuck the parents. anyone that accepts bribe in this case no matter how little is cursed. be you a policeman or court clerk, any favour you do for these monsters will ruin your life forever mark my words. To my fellow youths out there you have a choice, you are your own person. if you are being controlled by your friends then sorry you are a waste of space. they make you drink, smoke, rape, rob. who the hell are they? be your own person, nothing beats being free.
ReplyDeleteFriends from hell
ReplyDeleteThis is evil ,I can’t even imagine what she had to go through.I have no words for those boys and their parents but for d girl,I’m so sorry for what u had to pass through,the Lord will heal all your inner pains.
ReplyDeleteThe authorities have already made things easy for those rapists by not charging them for rape, instead they charged them for lesser offences when rape is the real offence. Nigeria.
ReplyDeleteCharity they say begins at home. Parents these days want schools to train their children while they spoil them. This is the result. I pray God will heal this young girl psychologically, physically and emotionally.
ReplyDeleteThis is so sad. Wicked frenemy.
