Madonna University Students Tortured By The Institution Officials (PICS) by ehisforever24(m): 1:23pm On Aug 11, 2015
Report I received. Read below...

Two students of Madonna University, Enugu State, have told the horrifying story of torture they suffered in the hands of key officials of the tertiary institution.

The duo, Stanley Okoye, 23, a final year Civil Engineering student and Ga-Lim Aondofa Lord, escaped death by the whiskers after they were allegedly abducted from their rooms February 3, 2015, in the dead of the night, in commando fashion, by the Chief Security Officer of the university, Okey Ogbonna and the Dean of Student Affairs, Rev. Fr. Isaac Nginga, a Catholic priest, in company of others and taken to a secluded area on the campus, where they were tortured, brutalized, dehumanised and left to die, but through divine intervention, they lived to tell the story.




Though they survived the ordeal, they are still undergoing treatment for the almost fatal injuries
they received in the hands of their tormentors. For instance, Stanley still needs to undergo special
surgery in Germany on the spine to repair a major damage inflicted on him while the torture lasted.

Aondofa suffered a dislocated jaw that required having his jaws held together with special dental wire to allow the injury heal. The duo would for the rest of their lives bear the burden of the deep psychological scars imprinted on their minds by the experience.




Meanwhile, they are still battling to get the results of their degree examinations released.

Accompanied by their parents, the victims who visited The Sun
office in Onitsha gave a chilling account of what they passed through in the campus, and revealed the alleged moves by the university management to cover up the truth.

In the heartbreaking and graphic account of what happened that fateful night they were abducted,
Stanley Okoye recounted that he was woken up from sleep around midnight by one Mr. Kingsley, the
school’s Sub- Dean, Mr. Ola, their hall representa­tives, Mr. Wisdom, Mr. Somtoo and Ogbonna Okey,
who is the university chief security officer (CSO), all of whom were accompanied by the Dean of
Students Affairs, Rev. Fr. Isaac Nginga. He was then bundled into a Toyota 4runner SUV and taken to a bushy end of the campus where their ordeal began.

Continuing, Stanley said: “These people were accompanied that night by an armed soldier, who is
among our security guards in school. First, they asked for the room number of my friend and
classmate, Lord Ga-Lim and I told them. They picked him up from his hostel and forced both of us into the vehicle. They first drove us to the administrative building and we alighted. Without any question, they descended on us after commanding us to lie down on the gravel. It was Rev. Father Isaac who hit us first with his belt, and the others then joined. They beat us with military belts, planks,
batons, iron, stones and other dangerous weapons they could lay their hands on; they dealt mercilessly with us.

“All the while they were treading on us as we lay on the sharp, rough gravel. Not even our plea for mercy or cries for help could melt their hearts. Fr. Isaac even commanded the military officer to shoot us if we attempted to run away. In fact, the soldier fired the shot but narrowly missed me. I was coughing out blood and bleeding profusely but
Ogbonna, the CSO hit me with his elbow and I fell down again.

“In that state, I was forced into the trunk of the Lexus SUV of Fr. Isaac; I memorized the registration number ENU 525 CP. My friend was
forced into a Toyota 4Runner SUV driven by Rev. Fr. Mamah. With us in the trunk, they moved with crazy
speed and even drove past the university security post without stopping. The road was very bad. Even though I was almost slipping into unconsciousness, I still heard the shrill voices of security men at the gate and flashing of lights at them telling them to stop. I later realized that the people were policemen on patrol who suspected the manner of the
vehicular movement. That night, our tormentors took us to Agbani police station.

“A police officer on duty at the station asked them whether we were involved in accident but they
didn’t answer. In that state, I told the police that we were attacked by the same people, who brought us
to the station and the police told them to take us to a specialist hospital or else we would die but they just took us back to the campus and dumped us in
the campus clinic. I was in pains and we were struggling to hang on to life. They only gave us painkillers and sleep inducing drugs. It was one of the nurses who saw our condition that night that I
whispered my mother’s number into her ears and she used her phone, after hiding the number, to
notify my parents about our plight.

“While we were in the hospital, they confiscated our phones, laptops and all our friends and roommates’
phones and communication gadgets to ensure that information about us did not leak to the outside
community. We were dying in installments. On February 5, I was woken up by the CSO, who told
me that my father was at the gate and wanted to see me. My dad was shocked when he saw my condition. When he tried to take a picture of me, they seized his camera and smashed it on the
ground. After heated argument between my dad and the people at the gate, they immediately bundled my friend and myself to the Elele campus of the university in Rivers State, in the dead of the night
without the knowledge of my father. We were in the hospital at Elele for about seven weeks shut out from the people and still under police watch even on our hospital bed. We underwent several surgeries because the doctor confirmed that my zygomatic
bone close to the spine was fractured. My friend had fractures on the lower and upper jaws.

I fainted when I saw my son–Okoye
Narrating how he heard about his son’s ordeal and the frustrations he encountered in the course of
seeking justice for the victimized students, Chief Okoye told Sunday Sun that he was in Lagos when
his wife called him from their Abuja home.

His words: “My wife informed me that she received a distress call. Only God can describe the trauma
we passed through that night before daybreak. I left Lagos for Enugu with first flight, abandoning all I came to do in Lagos, but I never knew that I was in for the greatest shock of my life. On getting to the school gate, I was denied entry by the security peo­ple and left stranded for four hours. When I noticed that the matter was no more a small issue not to talk of the uncertainty surrounding my son’s life, knowing that his phone was already permanently switched off, I sought for external help through the military. It was the high command at the 82 Division
of the Nigerian Army, Enugu that assisted me before they could allow me to enter and stay by the side of the gate while they went to fetch my son. When they brought him, I fainted, upon seeing his
condition.In the interim, and particularly regarding the controversial circumstances that led to the
temporary discharge of the accused persons by the magistrate court, Chief Samuel Okoye has made a vow that the struggle to ensure that the victims get justice will continue. He threatened to petition the National Judicial Council, the Nigerian Universities
Commission (NUC), National Human Rights Commission and other relevant bodies both in
Nigeria and abroad over the matter. Okoye also punctured the claims by the university PRO that the students were cultists, saying that such labeling was also an indirect indictment on the university management.

“They can thwart the course of justice but it will only be for a while. How can a university where you have armed soldiers, policemen as well as other private guards, claim that my son is a cultist. Also, does the law allow anybody to become the arresting
authority, prosecutor, and dispenser of justice at the
same time in a jungle manner? They wanted to use my son for rituals but God said no. There are still so many unanswered questions about what happened
to my son and his friend. The Rev. Father still needs to tell the whole world where they were taking my
son and his friend in the dead of the night in the trunk of the vehicles after torturing them half dead,
beating the university security and the police. If God did not expose this crime, we would have heard a
different story about what happened to the students.
Since this matter started, they have been busy trying to cover up by destroying evidence and reaching out to some people so that the matter would be swept under the carpet. That was why they destroyed my camera and also refused to release the medical records of the tortured students
but I know that there is God in heaven who oversees the affairs of men,” Okoye said.

Disheartening, it was the same school that they female officials were practicing lesbianism with the female students. This school's cup of crime is now overflowing

It still pains to know that despite all these allegations most parents still send their wards to this school. i was once a student there. After my graduation i had no regard for Catholic reverend fathers and sisters. U need to see how the treat people's children. As for any of those staff if i catch anyone outside school sorry.

Hopeless reporting, to appeal to the public's emotions. The story is incomplete without telling people what the guys did to warrant such beating.
