At 10:50pm
on Sunday 8, December, a female student of the Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife was assaulted directly opposite Maintenance, the popular female residential area around the campus gate.
It was reported that the female
student (who pleaded anonymity) was out to
buy food when three unidentifiable guys who alighted from a car behind her allegedly harassed her. In reaction, she was then said to exclaim,"Are you normal?" This is when the situation got out of hand as things got violent.
These unidentified individuals, reportedly three in number
pounced on this female student slapping and hitting her vigorously. The food
seller who tried to help was also said to get some part of the beating. The onlookers
who sells by the scene tried to help but these individuals kept slapping and
hitting her.
It was also
reported that the case was reported immediately to the security at Maintenance gate
but they turned their deaf ears to the report. The identity of these individuals remains
unknown.
However, details of the event have been reported to the security department of the institution and the department reacted to the incident via a twitter handle @OAUSecurityDep claiming that the event was already being handled and the department was already on the lookout for the alleged culprits.
