ABSU Rape Victim Identified.

The Abia State University gang rape victim has been identified by a coalition of different human right groups. The groups include but not limited to, Project Alert on Violence Against Women, Enough is Enough, National Human Right Commission and Kudirat Initiative for Democracy, amongst others. According to Mrs. Josephine Chukwuma, director Project Alert, the victim, a certified student of Abia State University is still alive as oppose to reports suggesting otherwise.
“We have located her there in Abia State,” Chukwuma said.
Chuckwuma also revealed that the victim is currently in a delicate state psychologically: “That girl is a ticking bomb right now; she is a potential suicide case or a murder case. Imagine she can lay her hands on a weapon now, what do you think will happen to her rapists? We are working on how to get her out of the state for protection and rehabilitation. Her safety comes first before we can begin to talk about justice. We need to show her all the love and support she requires to get over the trauma, before we begin to pursue justice.”
She also bemoans the lackadaisical attention the State Government has adopted on the issue. “It is a shame that the state government will dismiss the case without proper investigation. It appears the government is more interested in protecting the name of the state than making sure justice prevail. In less than 24 hours, the State government and the school authority have come out to deny the incident without investigating first. There are even rumors that the Vice Chancellor is threatening to rusticate the victim is she escalates the matter. We need to get her out of that state for her own safety first,” she laments.
She calls on the Ministers of Youth Development and Women Affairs and other pressure groups to sustain the pressure to ensure that the victim is adequately protected and rehabilitated and that justice is carried out.
“I call on our ministers and other pressure groups and human right groups to follow up the case and see to it that the victim receives adequate counseling and that the perpetrators of this crime be fished out and made to face the law,” she said.

Boko Haram Targets Lagos, Delta And Other Cities.


New intelligence reports available to the Armed Forces, yesterday, showed that following a round-the-clock alert in all military formations across the country to prepare for possible Boko Haram bombings, the group has perfected plans to use Federal Government, states, or Services Registration (Plate) numbers as a decoy to gain access to federal and military establishments for selected suicide attacks.
It was also discovered that in addition to the number plates, the group has commenced the massive procurement of materials used for the manufacture of bombs, i.e., Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) like gas cylinders, air conditioners, compressors of refrigerators and metal scraps for explosive ordinance making.
Vanguard gathered that aside the military formations, and federal establishments in the federal capital territory, specific cities where the group believes successful suicide bombings would create the required national damage and panic are Port Harcourt, Lagos, Kano, Kaduna and Anambra states.
Consequently, it was leant the Defence headquarters has issued a signal titled ‘Boko Haram Plans to Penetrate Targeted FG Establishments’ to all military formations in the country warning that no formation should take the threat lightly as the sect thrived on the element of surprise.
Extracts from the signal which was signed by an Air Vice Marshal (names withheld), on behalf of the Chief of Defence Staff, Air Chief Marshal Oluseyi Petirin, read: “Boko Haram is planning to install federal government plate numbers on its vehicles to facilitate easy penetration of federal government’s establishments, by its fighters on bombing missions”.
“The sect is also said to have commenced the procurement of used gas cylinders’, air conditioners, compressors of refrigerators and metal scraps for the manufacture of IEDs.
“By this signal, I am directing that extra vigilance must be taken by checking all vehicles and movements entering all military establishments while hurried checking of vehicles with government or service numbers must be avoided”.
A security source told Vanguard that the aspects concerning planned attack of select state capitals was not included in the military signal but would have been communicated to the state Security Services and the Nigeria Police force whose purview the states fall, adding however that if the military is required to assist in security measures to avert any calamity, they will respond.
It will be recalled that Vanguard had reported last week that members of the armed forces were put on alert following intelligence reports indicating that Boko Haram suicide bombers have been sent out by the sect to unleash devastating bomb attacks on military formations including the Defence and services headquarters of the armed forces in Abuja, prompting the introduction of tougher security measures.
The intelligence report showed that the ‘Boat House’ in particular, housing the DHQ, AHQ, NHQ and Air force headquarters, was a primary target by the group avenge the devastating blows the military has inflicted on the group since the constitution of the Special Task Force in Maiduguri.
Consequently, the Directors of Intelligence at headquarters of the Nigeria Army (DMI), Naval intelligence (DNI) and Air force intelligence (DAI) are now personally coordinating security arrangements at the Defence Headquarters and supervised by a Major General from Defence Headquarters.
