Four female students of the Tai Solarin University of
Education (TASUED), Ijagun, Ogun State, have been raped by hoodlums, the State
Government confirmed.
The hoodlums reportedly invaded the hostels of the students
in the early hours of Tuesday and forcefully had unlawful carnal knowledge of
the female students.
The hostel is located at Abapawa, an
area off the university campus.
The Deputy Governor of Ogun State, Mrs Noimot
Salako-Oyedele, said she had visited the four victims where they were receiving
treatment at the Olabisi Onabanjo University Teaching Hospital, Sagamu.
Salako-Oyedele had rushed to the University, alongside the
State Commissioner of Police, Alamutu Abiodun and the Commissioner for
Education, Science and Technology, Abayomi Arigbabu.
In a post on her verified Facebook page, the Deputy Governor
described the incident as “distressing and brutal”.
She said, “after receiving the distressing news about armed
robbery at some TASUED hostels and the brutal rape of four female students, His
Excellency Prince Dapo Abiodun CON directed me to immediately visit the victims
and the campus on a fact finding mission and to pledge the Government’s support
in ensuring this doesn’t happen again.
“I have visited the girls who are now being cared for and
given the necessary support to heal from their trauma at the Sexual Assault
Referral Centre (SARC) at OSUTH.”
She added that she had a crucial meeting with the Management
and Students of TASUED in company of Alamutu and Arigbabu, to discuss concrete
steps to bolster security measures and foster a safe environment on campus and
the adjacent host community.
According to her, CP Alamutu had promised to arrest the
perpetrators of the crime.
