bus to get to her destination is now living in
regrets as she was, in the most inhuman form,
rapéd by a popular commercial bus driver in
the city of Enugu. He has been charged with
rapé after she was rescued from him but the
case has been adjourned till February 26,
2014.
The rapist, Emeka Ugwudiobi was said to have
to violently had intercourse with her at
gunpoint for 15 hours.
According to the prosecution counsel, Mr
Francis Ajagu, the driver plies the New Market-
Gariki route and the victim was one of his
passengers on the fateful day.
"On getting to Mayor Market, he observed that
it was only the victim that was left inside the
bus…
"He drove the bus to an uncompleted building
beside the Mayor Market and started raping
the victim," Ajagu told the court. He said the
victim was raped from 7 p.m. to 10 a.m.
without break and that the accused never
heeded the pleas of the victim to have pity on
her or to allow her rest.
Ajagu said it was a passerby, one Mr Chidubem
Ezeorah, who ran into the scene and reported
the case to the police.
When the police got the scene and rounded up
Mr Emeka Ugwudiobi, the lady was in such a
bad shape that she could hardly stand on her
feet in the uncompleted building.
Funny enough, Chidubem Ezeorah's counsel,
one Peter Obeta, described the rapist as a
responsible man who has a wife and four
children. He claimed that the accused had
been into driving for the past 16 years and
that nobody had ever complained that he was a
rapist.
Peter Obeta said that there was no way a bus
driver would carry a gun inside his bus and the
police would not notice and denied that his
client had ever seen the victim he was accused
of raping.
But Justice Dorathy Agishi, who adjourned the
case to February 26, 2014, for trial, ordered
the accused to be remanded in prison custody.
#Christmas and #NewYear in prison, first.
