Four Akwa Ibom State University students have been suspended indefinitely for allegedly raping a female student.
A
statement released by the Head, Directorate of Information, Public
Relations and Protocol of the institution, Akaninyene Ibanga, states
that the rape incident took place at the Obio Akpa Campus of the
institution in Oruk Anam LGA.
The suspended students are; Akpan, Udeme Matthew Essien, Godwin Fidelis Bassey Courage Joseph and Bassey Godspower Columbus.
According
to Ibanga, the students were suspended by the university authorities as
a normal procedure to allow the police investigate and establish their
level of involvement in the crime.
He said the university would
eventually expel the students based on the outcome of police
investigations, adding that the police cannot exonerate them because the
victim has a medical report to back up the investigation.
