The four secondary school
students whose name were given as Jeremiah Odah, Dick Alo, Ofobuike Alo and
Obumnaeme had broken into the girl’s house and immediately demanded for sex but
she refused.
This led to her being beaten-up
thoroughly by the students of Galaxy foundation Secondary School, Ndiofoke
Amagu, Ikwo in Ikwo local government area.
After raping her to coma, the
students carried her out of her house and dropped her in a bush where she was
found after two days of search party by members of the community.
She was immediately rushed to the
Rural Improvement Mission Hospital (RIMH), Ndegu Echara Community in the local
government for medical attention.
According to the medical report
conducted on the victim, Gladys sustained serious internal injuries in her body
including private parts during the incident.
The matter was reported to the
Ebonyi State family law center, a special court saddled with the responsibility
of handling such case while the chairman of the court Mrs. Edeh Nwali has
petitioned the State Commissioner of Police, CP Peace Ibekwe Abdallah urging her to use her good offices and bring
the perpetrators to book.
The four secondary school
students had disappeared from their hostel and the community after committing
the crime. Father of the victim, Mr. Edward while at the family law centre,
appealed to the court, human rights organizations and the government to
intervene in the matter.
He described her daughter as a
bread winner of the family, adding that through her tailoring business his
family has been surviving.
