Robbers Rapes Female Corps Member On Kaduna-Abuja Highway.

Seven corps members returning from the recent holidays were among the 16 passengers attacked by robbers at a spot on the

Kaduna-Abuja highway on Sunday.
The females among the corps members serving in Enugu and Ebonyi states were reportedly raped by the hoodlums who blocked the highway to stop vehicles.
A victim of the attack told the News Agency of Nigeria in Enugu on Friday that the 16-seater bus carrying them was attacked by the robbers who disguised as policemen.
She said that the bus left Television Garage in Kaduna around 8:30pm and was attacked a few kilometres away from the garage.
The victim further said the robbers mounted a road block to give the impression that they were policemen on duty.

“As we approached the road block, the driver noticed that they were not policemen and tried to retreat but it was late.
“The robbers sensing what our driver wanted to do, left other cars and descended on us,” she said.
The victim said that the robbers forcefully raped all the female corps members in the bus and took all their belongings which included laptops, jewelries, handsets, foodstuffs and money.
The corps member appealed to the government to ensure adequate security on the highways.
