Suspected armed robbers invade school raped four female students of Tai Solarin University of Education (TASUED), Ijagun in Odogbolu Local Government Area of Ogun State.

It was gathered that the criminal elements stormed the hostels at Abapawa – an area off the campus in the early hours of Tuesday.

The Ogun State Deputy Governor, Engr. Noimot Salako-Oyedele, who confirmed the incident in a post on her Instagram page, paid a visit to the school management and victims of the incident.

The post read: “Earlier today, after receiving the distressing news about an armed robbery at some TASUED students hostels and the brutal rape of four female students, His Excellency, Prince Dapo Abiodun CON, directed me to immediately visit the victims and the campus on a fact-finding mission and to pledge the government’s support in ensuring that this doesn’t happen again.

“I have visited the girls who are now being cared for and given the necessary support to heal from their trauma at the Sexual Assault Referral Centre (SARC) at OSUTH.

“Ensuring the safety and well-being of our students is of utmost importance and I subsequently had a crucial meeting with the management and students of TASUED.

“I was joined by the Ogun State Commissioner of Police, Mr. Abiodun Alamutu, and the Commissioner for Education, Professor Abayomi Arigbagbu, where we discussed concrete steps to bolster security measures and foster a safe environment on campus and the adjacent host community.

“The Ogun State government is committed to ensuring the safety of all citizens and that our institutions remain safe spaces for learning and growth. The CP has promised that the police will leave no stone unturned in ensuring that the perpetuators are brought to book and justice prevails,” she added.
