The Attorney General of Cross
River State has been directed to immediately prosecute the man who raped a
young lady in Okuni ikom, alongside 4 members of his gang.
The incident occurred on November
6, 2017, when the gunmen invaded a farm in Okuni ikom, stole bags of cocoa and
gang raped the wife of one of the farmers, while the husband was tied to a tree
and made to watch.
Last month, women from Okuni
community protested against the rape.
The women numbering over 1000
took to the streets to demand for justice for their colleague, describing the
incident as barbaric.
Investigations revealed their
protest was as a result of the arrest of one of the culprits, who was later
released on bail without adequate sanction by the police, in Ikom.
However, the Commissioner for
Health, Dr Inyang Asibong and theDG of Cross River State Primary Healthcare
Development Agency, Dr Betta Edu, last Wednesday, visited victim and revealed
that the culprits have been rearrested and will be charged to court immediately.
