At Last Group Locates Victim of Abia Gang Rape

“We have located her there in Abia State... That girl is a ticking bomb right now; she is a potential suicide case or a murder case. Imagine she can lay her hands on a weapon now, what do you think will happen to her rapists? We are working on how to get her out of the state for protection and rehabilitation. Her safety comes first before we can begin to talk about justice. We need to show her all the love and support she requires to get over the trauma, before we begin to pursue justice.” 

Those were the words of Mrs. Josephine Chukwuma, Director of Project Alert on Violence Against Women, who also confirmed that the victim is a certified student of Abia State University.

She and other human rights group leaders have, therefore, called on the Ministers of Youth Development and Women Affairs as well as security agencies to ensure that the victim is adequately protected and rehabilitated. They insisted that justice must be carried out on the perpetrators.
