TOO BAD! Unknown Gunmen invade Benue University, r*pe 20 female students

Some persons suspected to be cult

members, on Sunday, invaded the

female hostel of Benue State

University, Makurdi, rapping no fewer

than 20 female students in the

process.


It was gathered that the gang members

stormed the Technical Block of the

female hostel about 10.00pm, beating

and raping the girls, before carting

away their valuables.


Tribune reports that armed men

successfully carried out the operation

without interference by the university

security operatives .


It would be recalled that a female

student of the university was raped

about a week ago by a group of young

men numbering four, when she was

returning from where she had gone to

read around 9.00 pm.


Also, about three weeks ago, a 100-

level female student was said to have

been shot on campus by unknown

gunmen, with her iPad, phones and cash

snatched.


Following the developments, female

students of the university, on Tuesday,

marched in protest to the office of the

Vice Chancellor, Professor Charity

Angya, insisting they needed an

explanation on why the attacks were

directed at them.


The Vice Chancellor, who assured on

security beef-up, also followed the

protesting students into their hostel,

while about seven students who were

wounded in the last attack were said to

have been taken to the school clinic for

treatment.


Dean, Students Affairs, Professor

Armstrong Adejoh, confirmed the

developments, but insisted it was an

internal security issue.
