I am so happy about this development.To think the victim was a married woman.Na waoooo.
Anyway this is how codewit.com is reporting it.

The Nigerian Police today said they had unravelled the identity of those behind the infamous gang-rape case which allegedly took place at the Abia State University, ABSU, Uturu, in Abia State. The alleged gang rape took the international world of social media networks like storm in 2011.
According to the police the incident actually took
place in Obite town in Etche Council Area of Rivers State. The victim was also found to be married while the suspects are her husband’s cousins.

The investigation was prompted by the a video recording of the incident circulated in the a social media showing how four men gang-raped a girl allegedly at ABSU.


According to the Police, three of the suspects have been charged to Magistrate Court 9, Port Harcourt.

The information was contained in the Nigeria Police newspaper, The Dawn, of March 11-24, 2013 edition.

According to the report, detectives from the Rivers State Criminal Investigation Department, working on intelligence report on September 7, 2012, traced the husband of the victim code-named Mr. S from Obite town in Etche Local Government Area of Rivers State.

The report said Mr. S confirmed that the victim was his wife and that the perpetrators of the act were from his community.

The report said “after painstakingly tracing the identity of the suspects, it led to their arrest".

According to the report, three of the perpetrators Uchenna Ukulor,Chizoba Nwosu Imezie and Nwazuo are facing trial for act of conspiracy and rape while the fourth person is on the run.

In the report, the police were quoted as saying that the suspects and the husband of the victim were invited and the video clip was played for them which clearly established that three of them with another at large committed the crime.

The suspects, the report further said, are cousins to the husband of the victim.



Briefing journalists at the government house, Umuahia, on the development, Chief Press Secretary to Abia State Governor, Ugochukwu Emezue, said the state government and the Abia State University has been vindicated by the findings of the police which show that the incident never happened at the university or anywhere in the state but at a village in Etche LGA, Rivers state.

Emezue said that detractors of the government who do not want to see anything good in the state,who insisted then that the rape took place at Abia State University should “hide their face in shame.”

He called on people to thoroughly investigate a matter before conclusion.

Reasons for sharing

Knowledge,to me is closely linked to our identity.sharing is generally a willful method of disemminating useful information to other people.By sharing, we build realationships so that what we share is received and treated with respect.Actually,knowledge sharing and relationships are interlinked.It is therefore,imperative that we share love which is the bedrock of any lasting relationship. Why am I sharing anyway? I know you are just wondering why you should bother about sharing anyway,you probably feel you are not loved enough or not loved at all.mhnnn...the question is how much love do you give,how much love can you afford to share? Well,you know what they say,habits die hard...I simply love to share and again I share out of a sense of responsibility for my future...."what you sow is what you reap!".I feel there is a huge gap that needs us to fill it,simply by sharing love. This love could be for that husband who isn't living up to responsibility,that wife who wouldn...

How can we share love in a world void of love?

As each day passes,I see that so many people do not understand what sharing love is all about.Just last night,I saw a man,not a boy.I mean a full fledged man beating up a lady just by the roadside as if she were some common thief.On inquiry,I discovered she was his girlfriend.Did I hear you say,what?!!!.mhnnn...the feeling is mutual,but come to think of it,he may have had a reason which he felt was good enough to beat her up.Someone may say no reason is good enough...chapter closed. I remember sharing with you earlier that every person has a reason for every action he/she takes,wether good or bad.If he had beat her to death,he will still have a reason for his action and he would engage the services of a lawyer who will readily defend him in the court of law.That's the kind of world we live in...simply void of love. You know,on television this morning,I just kept hearing the news on rape.In case you are thinking the victim may have caused it for herself,well sorry to diasppoint ...
