The suspects, who are between the ages of 16, 17, 18, 20 and 27 years old, were said to have carried out the act after ambushing and forcing the victim into a room where they took turns to defile her.

“The administration of Prof. Chukwuma Soludo will not allow any form of crime to strive in the state, justice will take its full course.”

The victim, during interrogation, explained that the incident happened when she visited her maternal home in Oramaetiti and got ambushed by a group of boys who took her to a room and took turns in defiling her. She noted that despite her plea, the suspects did not stop, but continued having their sexual fill with her while one of them was filming her during the act.

She also stated that after she was rescued by some neighbours who heard her shouting for help, she left for her house only to be accosted on her way home by another set of boys who first harassed her and further forced her to pull her underwear and give to them which she obeyed because they threatened to kill her.

She, therefore, urged the state government not to take the case lightly as their daughter’s life is at risk, especially as they are yet to retrieve her daughter’s personal effect.All rights reserved.
