BREAKING: Plateau University students protest alleged rape of four female students

A protest is ongoing at the Plateau State University, Bokkos following the alleged raping of four female students of the institution on Monday night.

The four girls who lived off-campus were abducted by unknown gunmen, raped and dumped in the bush.

Moreso, the peaceful protest is said to have halted the academic activities in the institution. According to a source, a male student was also shot and left injured

The source, however,  added that the act by the unknown gunmen is becoming a recurring issue.

“This is becoming a worrying issue, because more than 90% of the students of the institution reside off-campus, because of lack of enough hostel accommodation in the school”, the source lamented.
