The Boys In The Video Are Not ABSU Students - Governor Orji
Like I told you all on Saturday, we contacted one
of the aides of the Governor of Abia State and
they told us that they would do an investigation
and get back to us. They called me the following
day (yesterday) to say they have concluded their
investigations. Result - The boys in the video are
not students of Abia State University. They called
the VC of the school, the VC told them it didn't
happen in the school, end of story!
Seriously, I'm not surprised by this statement -
no institution wants to be associated with
something like this, so I understand, but here's
the problem; in fact two issues.
Firstly; One of the girls I spoke with said these
boys are from my school. I said what school?
She said ABSU. A lot of students there have
different versions of this video. And one of them
said to me, I don't believe these boys will be
caught, we came out with this evidence because
we want people outside of this region to know
what happens 'sometimes' in these parts. Girls
are gang violated and nobody is doing anything
about it. Most of the time, the victims don't say
anything, and when they do, people ask them
'Wetin you sef do the boys'? Like it's your fault
you were violated.
Secondly: How can the school authority say
without any reservations that these boys are not
their students when their faces didn't even show
in the video? Can you tell who your students are
by their silhouettes and voices? If there's no Law
faculty in Abia State University, then I apologize,
maybe I was misinformed; but if there's a law
faculty in this school, then I think the school
needs to thoroughly investigate this, because one
of the boys said he's a 400L student of Law,
names were mentioned,
So far, it doesn't look like ABSU is interested in
doing a proper investigation. The VC said there's
nothing in the video that indicates it's ABSU and
has asked Student Union President to issue a
statement exonerating the school.
Please continue,
See, here's my point - if these boys' faces had
been very clear in the video, and the school
authority had taken still photographs from video
and passed the photos round the campus to fish
out these boys, and students in the school don't
recognize any of them, then ABSU can say with
all authority that these students are not from their
school, but that's not the case here. So saying
without any reservations that these boys aren't
from their school holds no water.
Well, the State Government and ABSU have
concluded their investigations, now it's the turn of
the police, let's see what they come up with.
