200-level UI Student Arrested for Rape Allegations Against Fellow Student in Campus

A 200-level student of the Faculty of Law, University of Ibadan, has been apprehended by the University's security personnel for allegedly raping a 100-level colleague during night class within the campus.

The fresher had gone to a night class alongside some other girls in preparation for their examination. She was said to have moved away from the lecture theatre where she was reading due to power failure to take a nap at the Students’ Union building where the suspect reportedly raped her.

While narrating her ordeal, the victim said she woke up at a touch and attempted to scream but the suspect held her neck down and rendered her voiceless.

According to her luck shone on her when a student walked in and the suspect fled.

The victim, however, sustained injuries on her neck, lips (due to a bite) and her private part.

The Public Relations Officer of the institution, Mrs Joke Akinpelu, in her reaction, confirmed the incident, saying that investigations had begun on the matter.

“Yes. He (the suspect) was with the security unit until late yesterday (Tuesday). I’m not sure he has even been released,” Akinpelu said
