Lead City University Fresher Gets Expelled After Getting Gang-Raped
Injustice at Lead City University: A Cry for Justice as 100-Level Student Faces Horrific Assault and Expulsion”
Ibadan, Nigeria — In a shocking turn of events, a 100-level student at Lead City University (LCU) in Ibadan was reportedly drugged, gang-raped by a male student and four accomplices, and left in a pool of blood outside the hostel. The incident has sent shockwaves across the university community, sparking outrage and calls for justice.
Acording to reports, the young woman was lured into the ordeal by one of the perpetrators, only to be subjected to unimaginable horror at the hands of the group. After enduring the brutal assault, she was abandoned outside the hostel, gravely injured.
The next morning, concerned individuals rushed her to the university’s medical center. In a baffling twist, her blood test revealed traces of drugs, which led the institution to take disciplinary action against her—she was expelled. This punitive response by the university administration has overshadowed the grave crime of rape, leaving the perpetrators unpunished and the victim vilified.
Students at Lead City University, speaking under anonymity, revealed that this is not the first time such a heinous incident has occurred. Allegations of rape and sexual harassment have reportedly been swept under the rug by university authorities in the past, creating a disturbing pattern of inaction and neglect.
One anonymous student shared, “This has been happening for years, but nobody speaks up because the school either silences victims or expels them. We are tired, and we want justice for her.”
Another added, “The issue isn’t just the rape; it’s the way they turn victims into culprits. The expelled girl is the victim, not the criminal. Why are the perpetrators still walking free?”
The victim’s expulsion has sparked widespread condemnation, with students and advocates calling for a thorough investigation and accountability for those involved. Social media has also seen a growing movement under hashtags like #JusticeForLCUVictim and #StopRapeCulture, amplifying the call for justice.
“This is unacceptable. The university must take responsibility and ensure justice is served. Expelling the victim while shielding the rapists is a travesty,” said a prominent Ibadan-based activist.
This heartbreaking incident highlights the urgent need for educational institutions to implement robust anti-sexual harassment policies and provide support systems for victims. Lead City University must address this crisis decisively:
- Conduct an Independent Investigation: Ensure that a transparent and impartial inquiry is carried out.
- Hold the Perpetrators Accountable: Bring the accused to justice through proper legal channels.
- Support the Victim: Revoke the expulsion, provide medical and psychological care, and ensure her safety.
- Break the Culture of Silence: Empower students to report incidents without fear of retaliation.
This incident is a wake-up call for not just Lead City University but for all educational institutions in Nigeria. Rape culture and institutional negligence cannot be tolerated. It is time for society to rise against such injustice and demand accountability, protection, and respect for victims of sexual violence.
The victim’s story must not end here. As students, activists, and concerned Nigerians demand justice, it remains to be seen whether Lead City University will choose to stand on the side of fairness or continue to protect the guilty.
Justice must prevail. The time to act is now.
