Arrests In Nigeria After Gang-violation Posted On Internet How come we hear this from the foreign news services first? The Nigerian police have arrested two people in connection with the gang-violation of a woman posted on the internet. Bala Hassan, the commissioner for police in Abia State, said the two men were detained after cyber activists posted pictures and names online. The video has shocked Nigeria both for the brutal nature of the violation and the initial failure to investigate. There had appeared little chance of the five men who taped themselves sexually assaulting a woman being caught. Despite the video of the violation being widely watched online, officials in Abia State had declared their short investigations over as the victim had not come forward. What followed was a sustained campaign on social networks to force the police back into action and to uncover clues from the video that might identify the culprits. On Thursday the Nigerian national assembly called on the police to re-open their investigation. Three days later, based purely on names and photos posted online, they have made two arrests. The violation victim also appears to have been located. A women's rights group has said they are now in touch with her and are trying to get her out of Abia State to where she can receive counselling and medical attention. This high-profile case has highlighted what campaigners say is the Nigerian police's refusal to take violation seriously as a crime. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-15048700 http://diasforum.com/forum/general/arrests-in-nigeria-after-gang-violation-posted-on-internet |

I don't even know which one disgust me most; the culprits of this despicable act, or the abia state government officials who came out to outrightly and shamelessly deny it. Am ashamed of this sick country. |

A serious government that needed to demonstrate their connection to the people they are supposed to be serving would have jumped on this as a means to score cheap points and be seen to be 'doing something', instead every one is scrambling to wash their hands free and pretend nothing happened, SMH |

Contrary to Abia State government’s denial that five male students of the state university gang raped a young woman, SaharaReporters has identified the crime scene as well the names of two of the perpetrators. Our investigators exclusively confirmed that the rape, which was videotaped and posted online on August 17 2011, took place at “Maranatha Lodge”, an off campus student's hostel near ABSU. Two students, Ifeanyi Ogu Justin and Jonah Uche have been identified by witnesses, a third perpetrator, "Zaki" is reportedly yet to be fully identified Saharareporters also learned that the victim of the attack has been located in a safehouse where she and some members of her family have taken refugee for fear of her life. Saharareporters learned that some witnesses led investigators to the young woman’s hideout, one source told us that the victim and her mother are so fearful for their life that the young woman told investigators she was never raped. Saharareporters spoke to one of the sources who revealed the names of the perpetrators and led investigators to the victim. The source stated that both the victim as well as those who initially came forward as witnesses are now so scared that they have all decided to deny that the vicious attack ever took place. When our correspondents asked how it was possible to deny what had been captured on tape, the source said, “Well, that is not my concern”. In addition to the lack of seriousness on the part of the police, the state government has been issuing threats that anyone who links students of ABSU to the crime will face grievous consequences. http://saharareporters.com/news-page/abia-university-gang-rape-scandal-abia-government-lies-exposed-crime-scene-identified- |

Where is that worthless coogar who claimed this heinous crime could be hoax? The perpetrators may have issued a life threatening warning to the family not to ever mention the case That is typical of Abia state govt The same Abia where an occultist chopped off someone's face This governor and the commissioner should be arrested for conspiracy They obviously know something about this crime that is why they are covering it up The victim should speak up nothing will happen they are just giving empty threats |
Re: 2 People Have Been Arrested Over ABSU Rape Case by sheyguy: 8:07pm On Sep 24, 2011 |
BetaThings: It is already a public knowledge. that is what really matters. |

If we follow legal terms, majority of Nigerian men are rapists, because they do not know how to accept NO S-E-X, NO VEX. Majority of them forced their girlfriends to sleep with them and DATE R-A-P-E is common in Nigeria. They even boast about their sexual exploits of forcing girls to lay them. |
Re: 2 People Have Been Arrested Over ABSU Rape Case by Nobody: 8:15pm On Sep 24, 2011 |
Do not be surprised that many of abia state govt officials are cultists just as those hardened rapists.they governor's boys,being used for criminal activities. |
Re: 2 People Have Been Arrested Over ABSU Rape Case by Odunnu: 8:19pm On Sep 24, 2011 |
If it were possible, just roll up the entire Abia leaders who denied this incidence and sink them in river Niger! I'm just so afraid for the victim with this our poor security. |
Re: 2 People Have Been Arrested Over ABSU Rape Case by chamber2(m): 8:20pm On Sep 24, 2011 |
Orikinla: Making video of the victim and spreading it around was the most heinous act committed by these idiots in addition to the rape case But you sure say you no follow for the Nigerian men wey you wrote about? |
Re: 2 People Have Been Arrested Over ABSU Rape Case by sheyguy: 8:20pm On Sep 24, 2011 |
Orikinla:True talk however some girls dont mind cause they probably enjoy such, i mean sex wiith a lil bit of violence or energy |

In addition to the lack of seriousness on the part of the police, the state government has been issuing threats that anyone who links students of ABSU to the crime will face grievous consequences. WHAT IN HEAVEN'S NAME!!!! |
Re: 2 People Have Been Arrested Over ABSU Rape Case by Nobody: 8:24pm On Sep 24, 2011 |
Date rape is commonest everywhere,underreported even in U.S.stigmatization of victim is the main reason.most security agents are men and they do not take rape case seriously.i think female police and lawyers should be in charge of rape case |
Re: 2 People Have Been Arrested Over ABSU Rape Case by deols(f): 8:36pm On Sep 24, 2011 |
