Hoodlums suspected to be armed robbers have invaded the student community of Tai Solarin University of Education (TASUED) in Ogun State, reportedly raping four female students of the university.
According to MUK TV’s sources within the school, the ugly incident happened in the early hours of Tuesday at Abapawa.
Although the sources could not disclose much because they were not authorized to speak on the matter, we gathered that the victims of the rape have been hospitalized.
The social media post of the Ogun State Deputy Governor, Engr. Noimot Salako-Oyedele, after visiting the school also confirmed the report.
She said she paid a visit to the school management, students, and the victims of the incident, who are said to be currently receiving treatment at the Olabisi Onabanjo University Teaching Hospital (OOUTH), Sagamu.
Salako Oyedele wrote, “Earlier today, after receiving the distressing news about an armed robbery at some TASUED student hostels and the brutal rape of four female students, His Excellency, Prince Dapo Abiodun CON, directed me to immediately visit the victims and the campus on a fact-finding mission and to pledge the government’s support in ensuring that this doesn’t happen again.
“I have visited the girls who are now being cared for and given the necessary support to heal from their trauma at the Sexual Assault Referral Centre (SARC) at OSUTH.
“Ensuring the safety and well-being of our students is of utmost importance, and I subsequently had a crucial meeting with the management and students of TASUED.
“I was joined by the Ogun State Commissioner of Police, Mr. Abiodun Alamutu, and the Hon.Commissioner for Education, Professor Abayomi Arigbagbu, where we discussed concrete steps to bolster security measures and foster a safe environment on campus and in the adjacent host community.
“The Ogun State government is committed to ensuring the safety of all citizens and that our institutions remain safe spaces for learning and growth.”
