“I believe the deceased decided
to hang herself due to the attendant shame and stigmatisation she experienced
after the rape incident,” Akhigbe said.
He said that the command had
launched investigation into the alleged rape charges filed by the deceased
family.
One of the family members, who
pleaded for anonymity, said that the girl was reportedly gang-raped last week.
“She was on errand for her elder
sister and was allegedly raped at gun point by three boys who forced her into
an uncompleted building.
“The girl was devastated after the incident.
“After some days she told her
sister and the husband her experience. Her sister’s husband who is a Pastor,
asked her to describe any of her attacker.
“She described one of the boys,
but the boy could not be found; I believe Pastor counselled her (the victim).
“The pastor has promised to
pursue the matter to the court.
“She swallowed a poisonous
substance known as Sniper and she was discovered while groaning in pains and
rushed to GloryLand Hospital.
“The victim was discovered through the note she dropped before taking the
poisonous substance,” the source said.
