EXCLUSIVE: How Nigerian Soldiers Routinely Raped, Tortured Us In Abuja Barracks — Women Arrested In Obigbo, Rivers (Sahara Reporters)

Some soldiers of the Nigerian Army in Abuja have been accused of torturing and raping dozens of ladies arrested from Obigbo (Oyigbo) in Rivers State, between October and November 2020, during a raid in the area.

SaharaReporters obtained the accounts of two of the girls, although the audio clip could not be shared because of the assurance of anonymity and confidentiality given to the victims.

The girls confessed that two female victims were tortured to death while others were routinely raped during the weeks they spent at the detention facility in Mogadishu Barracks, Asokoro.

The females were arrested from around a market in Obigbo on their way home from work between 7pm and 7.30pm on November 2020 and initially taken to the Nigerian Army base in Obinze Army Barracks, Owerri, Imo State.

From there, they were transported to Abuja and detained for “questioning” at Mogadishu Barracks, Abuja where many of them were subsequently routinely raped.

“I was raped three times. The soldiers shouted on us. They came in the morning and in the evening. We could not easily pick their identities. One of us was beaten to death. She was taken out of the detention and never returned. There were many of us – around 50 girls,” one of the victims said.

Another victim said, "I was arrested around the market square while returning from work. I was taken to Obinze barracks and from there the following day, we all found ourselves in Abuja. I was raped also. I secured my freedom through a lawyer only last week. Some of us were tortured as we were being raped."

A civic organsiation, International Society for Civil Liberties and Rule of Law, from Owerri, Imo State, in a report on the incident, said at least 53 females were raided from Obigbo, and most of them are feared to have been sexually molested by the Nigerian Army personnel.

The report was signed by Emeka Umeagbalasi, the organisation’s board chairman, Barrister Obianuju Igboeli, Head of Civil Liberties and Rule of Law, and others.

“The 53 young girls and women and others in non-menopausal age bracket, were abducted by the Nigerian Army in Obigbo, Rivers State, and serially raped for weeks by its soldiers at the Mogadishu (Abacha) Barracks in Abuja.
“All the suspects, from our several investigations, were engaged in different types of legitimate occupation and other lawful social activities before the raid by the army.

Retired Lt Gen Tukur Yusuf Buratai, as immediate past Chief of Army Staff, chillingly left a legacy of monstrosity and barbarism in the Nigerian Army. It is a height of abomination for soldiers of the Nigerian to have degraded themselves to the extent of engaging in serial rape and other abominable sexual violence against innocent and defenceless women inside the Mogadishu Barracks - a place not far away from the Headquarters of the Nigerian Army in Abuja,” the report said.

The group called for an independent government's investigation of the incident, while demanding that Buratai and other culpable serving and retired military officers be brought to justice.

Foolish soldiers punishing innocent women for the crime of men.

Boko harm will kill all soldiers involved.

Shame on the Nigerian Army

God punish Wike

Wike will meet his end soon

very disgusting

Mogadishu barracks of all places, see lie

So Nnamdi Kanu was right.
He said that biafrans from Obigbo were airlifted to the North and few believed him.
Truly IPOB intelligence is top notch, akin to that of the mossad and CIA.

Many people here are so gullible

Unprofessional and wicked army

Lalasticlala

Shameless Army .....no iota of discipline...not one dot of it.

What do you expect when the former chief of army staff's name is Buratai? burantashi

They will deny it

Sickos

That man in Aso Rock should answer for all the disgusting events that happened in October 2020.

This case shouldn't go down. It's traumatic. Bandits in soldiers' uniforms must be flushed out.

Justice must be served.

Too bad. As cheap & available sex has become, I wonder the rational behind rape & the pleasure gotten. If Boko Haram kill this one's now. People will be sympathetic to their evil reward.

I’ve given up on Nigerian defense long time ago.

Wike will pay one day

Highly uncalled for

And when boko haram now rape these soldiers in sambisa forest we'll start pitying them.

Bunch of perverts.
