“When we were dragged into the bush, we were ordered to lie down. The robbers would immediately point the flash light at you and say ‘spread your legs open.’

“The robbers defiled some of the girls but when it got to my turn and I opened my legs, they saw blood between my thighs and this was because I was on my menstrual cycle.

“The robbers thought I had been raped already, left me and continued raping the other girls.”

One of the 42 female students of Holy Rosary College, Enugu, who were attacked by armed robbers in a Lagos-bound luxury bus on Sagamu-Benin Expressway said, while explaining their ordeal in the hands of the dare-devil robbers to a Punch Correspondent.

The girl, who spoke on condition of anonymity at her parents’ residence in Ajao Estate, Lagos,disclosed that that the robbers raped most of the girls because they did not find valuables on them.

The traumatised girl, who spoke in a voice laden with emotion, said the robbers, who were many, dragged all the girls into the bush and began raping them one after the other.

She added that robbers were pointing the flashlight directly into the girls’ eyes so that they would not be able to see their faces.
Meanwhile, the spokesperson for the Ogun State Police Command, Mr. Muyiwa Adejobi, said patrols were being intensified in the area where the incident took place to checkmate such activities.
