The Ekiti State Government said no fewer than three girls were gangraped by hoodlums that hijacked #EndSARS protests in the state.
Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice, Olawale Fapohunda, said that the incident occurred at the Fajuyi Park in the state capital, Ado-Ekiti on Sunday.
“Rape and robbery cannot be the values of EndSARS protesters. It may now be necessary to alert all those participating in the protests, specifically girls and women to note that there exists hoodlums in their midst whose agenda is to rape and rob.
“it is regrettable that the legitimate protests against impunity by SARS has now been hijacked by undesirable elements who rape, assault and rob innocent citizens.
“It is becoming obvious that government cannot continue to allow the good people of Ekiti State suffer in this manner,” Fapohunda said.
The commissioner stated this in Ado Ekiti while receiving the mothers of the three victims of the gangrape.
He advised the parents to seek immediate medical attention for the girls at the Ekiti State Sexual Assault Referral Centre – the Moremi Clinic, located in the Ekiti State Teaching Hospital.
“The rapists will be apprehended. The first step is to seek medical support for the girls. The girls will then be debriefed for the purpose of police investigation,” the commissioner assured.
