The menace of taking advantage of innocent girls by men in uniform is a serious crime that needs the collective efforts of people of good conscience to be brought to an end.
Abia state polytechnic students took to major roads to protest the alleged r@pe of an 18-yr-old student of the institution by operatives of the Rapid Response Squad (RRS) in Aba, Abia State.
The students who staged the protest on September 23 at the school premises, were seen carrying placards with various inscriptions airing their grievances.
They revealed that RRS officers had arrested six of their colleagues; three boys, and three girls at a lodge close to the school on Wednesday, September 22, but later released five of them after extorting them, leaving an 18-year-old girl behind.
The girl was later found hospitalized and in critical condition. According to the victim, she was r@ped by three officers while in police detention.
Efforts to get the reaction of the Police Public Relations Officer, Abia State Command, Geoffrey Ogbonna, was unsuccessful as at the time of filing this report.
