A pregnant woman identified as Margaret was brutally gang-raped by a yet-to-be-identified six-man armed gang while working on her farm.
The incident occurred on Friday, July 12, in Kadiri, Keana Local Government Area, leaving residents in a state of outrage and fear.
Narrating her ordeal, Margaret said she was with her husband on the farm when the armed gang, suspected to be militia, appeared.
Both tried to flee, but due to her condition, she was unable to escape and fell to the ground.
The armed men then took turns raping her, leaving her bleeding and barely conscious before abandoning her.
Margaret was later rushed to the hospital for medical attention.
The community, predominantly composed of farmers, has appealed to the government for swift intervention and justice for the innocent victim.
“It is imperative that measures be put in place to protect farmers and residents from such barbaric acts in the future. The safety and security of all citizens must be guaranteed, and steps must be taken to prevent such atrocities from recurring.
“The community stands in solidarity with Margaret and all victims of violence and urges authorities to take decisive action to address this appalling crime and prevent further incidents of this nature.
“The voices of the oppressed must be heard, and justice must prevail,” a community spokesperson said.
Residents are calling for increased security and protective measures to ensure the safety of farmers and prevent similar tragedies from happening again.
