Sad News: Girl raped by 3 Students in Kwara

Justice might have finally come the way of a young girl who was gang raped by 6 of her fellow students at the Kwara State College of Health and Technology, Offa.

The victim was said to have been drugged by the boys before they proceeded to have their dastardly way with her.

The police have arrested 3 out of the 6 suspects who were said to have had forceful intercourse with the hapless girl until she lost consciousness.

The Tribune reports:

Parading the suspects to journalists in Ilorin on Friday, the state Commissioner of Police, Ambrose Aisabor, said the female student was drugged by the six suspects before they raped her "mercilessly until she became unconscious."

Aisabor, who said that the victim had been admitted at the University of Ilorin Teaching Hospital (UITH) in Ilorin for treatment, assured that the remaining three suspects who were at large would be apprehended and brought to book alongside their arrested colleagues.

The police boss said items recovered at the scene of the incident included three used condoms, a bottle of Ponche liquor, one red lady's pants, a pair of lady's shoes and one Samsung handset belonging to the victim.

Aisabor also said that the command recovered a Toyota Camry car with registration number LND 857 AR snatched from Ibadan by an armed robbery gang and arrested a member of the gang.

He added that the command also recovered a Daf Truck with registration number FST 484 XC loaded with 36 tons of iron rods which was hijacked by some suspected criminals.

He said the suspects, on discovering that they could not penetrate the tight security placed in and around the state, fled and abandoned the truck.
