Mallam Mobolaji Abdullahi the Minister of youth development said yesterday (Thursday) that one of the suspects in the controversial rape video that has been in circulation in the country has been identified. though the Female (victim) in the video is yet to be identified.

The Evedence available on the internet says five men raped the lady , recorded the act and somehow the recording got viral and was eventually uploaded to the internet.

The incident is widely believed to have occurred in Abia state has been very controversial.

The Minister further stated that they may not be able to convict the suspect for rape based on the video evidence .

he further stated that

“More than 70 per cent of the information we have on the rape will not be said here for obvious security reasons. But I can tell you we have information on it.

“Some legal experts have told us that it may be difficult to convict the rapists because the video does not reveal the face of the victims.“The girl is not a student of Abia State University. She was raped in an off-campus residential area of students.“One of them (suspects) has been identified conclusively.”Although the faces of the rapists are not seen in the video, the minister said the National Human Rights Commission was on top of the situation.“The National Human Rights Commission is working with the Ministry of Youth Development. The commission, which is headed by a competent lawyer, is on top of this case.“This is law, if we can not press for rape, there are other charges that we can press. I can assure you that justice will be done

.” Opinion

Personally i am not satisfied by the statements made by the minister perhaps he is just trying to play a little politics with our minds. the next step is to try and get the Lady identified in person, her presence is vital to the commencement of criminal charges against the suspects.
