According to PM News
The Nigerian police in the southern state of Bayelsa has
confirmed that an 18-year-old girl committed suicide after a gang rape by three
unidentified men.
The Spokesman of the state Police Command, Mr Alex Akhigbe,
told newsmen in Yenagoa that the girl killed herself in Amarata, Yenagoa, Local
Government Area of Bayelsa, southern Nigeria.
“I believe the deceased decided to hang herself due to the
attendant shame and stigmatisation she experienced after the rape incident,”
Akhigbe said.
He said that the command had launched investigation into the
alleged rape charges filed by the deceased family.
One of the family members, who pleaded for anonymity, said
that the girl was reportedly gang-raped last week.
“She was on errand for her elder sister and was allegedly
raped at gun point by three boys who forced her into an uncompleted building.
“The girl was devastated after the incident.
“After some days she told her sister and the husband her
experience. Her sister’s husband who is a Pastor, asked her to describe any of
her attacker.
“She described one of the boys, but the boy could not be
found; I believe Pastor counselled her (the victim).
“The pastor has promised to pursue the matter to the court.
“She swallowed a poisonous substance known as Sniper and she
was discovered while groaning in pains and rushed to GloryLand Hospital.
“The victim was discovered through the note she dropped
before taking the poisonous substance,” the source said.
