Release Report on Abia University gang rape

Right to Know (R2K) Nigeria and Project Alert on Violence Against Women, two
indigenous Civil Society Organisations have jointly applied for the report of the
investigation undertaken by the Vice-Chancellor of Abia State University (ABSU),
into allegations concerning the gang-rape of a female student of the university by
persons suspected to be male students of the school.
The joint application was made pursuant to the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA)
2011, which establishes the right of access to information held by public
institutions in Nigeria. Section 4 of the FOIA provides that the University
Authorities must respond to the application within 7 days of receipt of the
application.
In September 2011, a video of the brutal gang-rape of a female student of ABSU
was widely circulated on the internet. Reportedly, several of the boys involved in
the rape were named and their courses of study were disclosed in the course of
the video. The video was said to have originated from the University.
Ene Enonche, R2K National Coordinator who disclosed this in a statement said
access to information is fundamental to the accountability process in order to
ensure that impunity does not go unpunished.
According to him, "The Vice Chancellor’s investigation has been concluded;
therefore he has an obligation under the FoI Act to make the findings of his
investigation available at our request.”
Enoche added that the application was made following an announcement issued
by the Abia State University Governing Council on page 56 of the Nation
Newspaper of Wednesday, 28 September 2011, indicating that the Council
adopted the report of the investigation undertaken by the Vice-Chancellor which
concluded that the alleged rape of an ABSU female student did not take place on
the premises of the university, and challenged anyone with proof otherwise to take
it to the appropriate authorities.
In her reaction, Mrs Josephine Effah-Chukwuma, Executive Director of Project
Alert said: “we are interested in justice for the rape victim. We are outraged by the
impunity displayed by those young men, who did not only commit a crime, but
went further to flaunt the crime, by recording and circulating evidence of their crime.
"We consider it a challenge to Nigeria as a country, and Nigerians as a people to
fish out the hoodlums and bring them to justice. Thus we will do anything and
everything, to ensure justice for this young girl, and by extent justice for all”, she
stressed.
