(ABSU Gang rape)police says girl consented to be raped?

"The Abia State Police command has explained why it suspended investigations into the gang rape that happened in its Abia State University. The state police command said the girl-victim consented to the rape. An online website monitoring the case yesterday reported that commenting on a DVD tape sent to his CP to expedite investigations into the activities of the criminal gang, J.G. Micloth, the Assistant Commissioner of Police in charge of Abia State Police command Criminal Investigation Department said the lady had consented to the gang crime.
He was quoted as saying that after watching the DVD, he said he did not see the young lady resist the rape."

I got the above disturbing gist concerning progress of investigation and “prosecution” of the ABSU rape case. it is a shame if a high rank police officer can make that unfortunate statement. Like a friend of mine "Ena Ofugara" said on facebook “ I understand the negative connotation of “rat race” but I hope those on the queue are trying to rescue their comrade? I hope it is not what it looks like !!!

Is our mentality any different from that of those rats ? No compassion from the typical Nigerian guy, I was on an online public forum and was also surprised at the comments made by some “rape” apologists who believes ladies has got no right to say no to sexual advances by a male, they believe as long as the female does not shout at the top of her voice scratching and yelling for help , she must have consented to intercourse or as the ignorant ,ill directed and inefficient police officer puts it “consented to rape” the law is simple on this matter

The Offence is defined in section 357 of the Criminal Code of Nigeria as follows

" Any person who has unlawful carnal knowledge of a woman or girl ,without her consent,or with her consent,if the consent is obtained by force or by means of threat or intimidation of any kind,or fear of harm,or by means of false and fraudulent representation as to the nature of the act,or, in the case of a married woman,by personating her husband,is guilty of an offence which is called rape.

"in other words if consent was obtained by intimidation of any kind, or fear of harm it is a punishable offence ! i make bold to question the competence of the Assistant commissioner of police J.G. Micloth of Abia state police command A constable (police officer) in the United Kingdom will make a more intelligent statement.

Rape is rampant in Nigeria and the mentality of those guys is not different from that of those rats in the picture above , some are just waiting for their own turn to hammer their next victim. They believe if the girl is a girlfriend to any of the guys its a licence to rape , if she offends them in any way then they can rape as a punitive measure . what nonsense ! Back to my "rat illustration jare ,Do you notice the guy/rat reading the news paper? That represent the very patient pathetic seemingly innocent potential rapist among us , ladies beware many lowlife guys are waiting to rape somebody believing they will do it and go Scot free .

The best way to fight it is to speak out, if you know a victim encourage them to report any incidence to the police, and other agencies like Civil defence and other security agencies (since the police are not reliable), speak out!! condemn the action of the rapists and the disposition of the authorities . what do you 'guys' think , comments please what are your views on this one now that the inefficient Nigerian police has suspended investigation ?
