An ex corp member, who was reportedly arrested and charged for the murder of her boyfriend has had her appeal granted upon investigation by Akwa ibom police. Her defence counsel argued that the act was carried out based on grounds of self defence because the dead lover was trying to rape her.
Eyewitness accounts as well as proofs obtained from ex-lovers of the deceased corroborated the plea which was granted.
A human rights activists, Ms Ruth Bessong took to her Twitter page to share these narratives.
If you read this story last year, please show up we get gist and it’s a long gust.
On the 10 of January 2021, I came across the story of a corp member deployed to Akwaibom to have allegedly killed her boyfriend!!!!I
I read several versions of this story,
Deep down in my heart, I knew there could be more to this story.
@chidinma maintained he wasn’t her boyfriend,
She was lured and he tried to kill her.
As someone who is not ignorant of Rape, I have come to the conclusion that Rape cases 80% of the time do not make sense to the next person listening to your ordeal.
So I started looking for clues as to how to unravel the mystery behind this story, I read several comments on various blogs,
Until I saw @laurels scott’s announcement asking people to to watch her space at a certain time as she had something to say about the above case!!!
I kept waiting and I listened to her experience with same guy and I knew this was the clue I was looking for. We linked up, shared experiences and a one year journey started.
We started looking for trails,visiting locations, reaching out to victims, several police station trips
what some of these girls had to go through.
Some days were super stressful, some days it felt as though we weren’t even making sense to the police but they knew their job better and we hoped for the best.
We kept the faith, we kept trusting God and pushing this cause.
we visited from the commissioner of police, to the deputy, to the PPRO to every office trying to establish this was indeed a case of self defense.
Getting other victims to speak up
Was a different � journey entirely Sometimes we broke down and just cried from hearing what some of these victims went through and were afraid to speak up��
