The couple at the dedication of their late baby
Like told you all some months back the very popular gang-rape case which we all thought took place at the Abia State University, ABSU. You can see the story HERE. Actually took place at Obite in Etche local government area of Rivers State and not Abia State as widely believed.
The rape victim is actually a happily married and even pregnant at the time she was gang raped. And her husband did not get to know about the very ugly incident until after some months. In this article by The Nation the couple are referred to as Mr and Mrs S and they narrates their very painful ordeal.
Mr. S said: “Some of the rapists did not even finish their secondary education; none of them is a student of the institution.”The heartbroken man hinted of conspiracy between some powerful persons in the community, including a member of his extended family, and the rapists.“They know what they did; the activities they and their boss are engaged in,” he added.He said his wife told him that there were eight men in the room when she was molested.“Four of them raped her, while the other four acted as bouncers, guard and commanders.”
Kept in the dark
Our checks revealed that the distraught husband found out about the sordid affair late. He had also lost a son to HIV/AIDS infection, which his wife is believed to have contacted from the rapists.
Attempts by our reporter to speak with the victim met brick walls. At her family’s home in Nazi, Owerri, where she moved in with her parents, we were told she had relocated to the village, ostensibly because of the stigma from the incident.
Her sibling, who was contacted on telephone, became suspicious and hung as soon as we told him we were trying to reach his sister.
Over one year after he found out, Mr S could not completely conceal the hurt and betrayal in his voice when he spoke.
He said he found out about the rape of his wife through his colleagues. He was working offshore when his colleagues started discussing the “evils going on in the society. They said I should see what evil people are doing. I was not interested until they started talking about a sad one that happened in Abia State. They said university students raped their colleague, videoed and posted it on the internet. I said they must be cultists to have done such things.
“When they started narrating it, I got interested and asked to see the video.
