A student of Ladoke Akintola University
of Technology, Ogbomoso, Oyo State has narrated how robbers invaded
their hostel,raping them and forcing them to have sex with each
other. In tears, Bimbola (not real name) agreed
to narrate her ordeal to a Punch correspondent last Monday.
What she passed through in August was painful,
unimaginable and dehumanising. In fact, she might not be able to forget
that night in her life.Ever since the incident, everything about her has changed, according to her friend.
In the night of August 13, 2015 – around
12 midnight – she said she and her roommate had returned from a night
reading class in preparation for their forthcoming exam in November,
locked their room and were about to sleep when they heard their hostel
mates jamming their doors, screaming and walking up the hostel stairs.
Before they knew what was happening, the
men were at their door and expectedly, they forced the door open.
