JUST IN: Soldiers Allegedly Rape AAUA Student At Checkpoint

AAUA

A female undergraduate of Adekunle Ajasin University Akungba Akoko, Ondo State was allegedly raped by some soldiers stationed at the military checkpoint in Ikare Akoko, Akoko North-East Local Government Area of the state, SaharaReporters has learnt.

The student, a 300-level in the department of Religious and African Studies, was allegedly harassed, molested and raped inside a post close to the military checkpoint.

One of the sources said the victim was raped while returning from the campus.

He revealed that one of the soldiers simply identified as "Lance Corporal Sunday" has been arrested and also detained by the 32 Artillery Brigade.

"We were travelling from Akungba in a minibus when the armed soldiers flagged us down at their checkpoint on Ikare road.

"Immediately, one of them searched our vehicle and loads and saw the lady (victim) and asked her to come down from the vehicle.

"While this was going on, there was silence inside the bus and when the lady came down, she was accosted to the military post.

"They later told others to move on while they held the lady hostage and out of fear, we had to leave the soldiers and the victim.

"An hour later, we began to suspect why they held the lady in a journey of fifteen minutes because nothing incriminating was on her. We later found out she was raped by the soldiers."

He added that the student had been taken to the Ondo State Specialist Hospital in Ikare for treatments.

Olawale Oguntause, the chief medical director of the government hospital, confirmed that the rape victim was brought to the facility.

Oguntuase, however, refused to confirm or deny if the female victim was raped.

"As I am speaking to you, I can only tell you that the lady was brought to the hospital over a rape case. But the results of the medical examination carried out on her is not yet ready,” he told SaharaReporters.

Victor Akinpelumi, the university’s spokesperson, said an investigation had been launched into the incident.

"The university has set up a panel to look into the matter," he said.

A resident of Ikare, Ibrahim Ayodele, said he saw some enraged students when they came to report at the station.

"The incident is true because I saw the students in Ikare Police Station where they came to report the case. Many of them were angry and even threatened to protest the rape case by shutting down the road,” he said.

A police source in Ikare confirmed the rape case in a telephone chat.

He said some friends of the victim visited the station on Wednesday around 7 pm to lodge a complaint.

"Some students came and report the case here and we have started our investigation but we are taking the case to our headquarters in Akure.

"The victim even came with them to the station and mentioned the main culprit who masterminded the rape among the soldiers," he said.

Femi Joseph, spokesperson for the Ondo State Police Command, said he had not been brief on the case.

Abubakar Zakari, the commandant of the 32 Artillery Brigade, said the rape allegation was a "blackmail" on his officers who are all manning the military checkpoint in Ikare.

The Transitional Phase of African Poetry

The Transitional Phase The second phase, which we have chosen to call transitional, is represented by the poetry of writers like Abioseh Nicol, Gabriel Okara, Kwesi Brew, Dennis Brutus, Lenrie Peters and Joseph Kariuki. This is poetry which is written by people we normally refer to as modem and who may be thought of as belonging to the third phase. The characteristics of this poetry are its competent and articulate use of the received European language, its unforced grasp of Africa’s physical, cultural and socio-political environment and often its lyricism. To distinguish this type of poetry we have to refer back to the concept of appropriation we introduced earlier. At the simplest and basic level, the cultural mandate of possessing a people’s piece of the earth involves a mental and emotional homecoming within the physical environment. Poems like Brew’s ‘‘Dry season”, Okara’s “Call of the River Nun”, Nicol’s “The meaning of Africa” and Soyinka’s “Season”, to give a few examples,

The pioneering phase of African Poetry

The pioneering phase We have called the first phase that of the pioneers. But since the phrase “pioneer poets” has often been used of writers of English expression like Osadebay, Casely-Hayford and Dei-Anag, we should point out that our “pioneer phase” also includes Negritude poets of French expression. The poetry of this phase is that of writers in “exile” keenly aware of being colonials, whose identity was under siege. It is a poetry of protest against exploitation and racial discrimination, of agitation for political independence, of nostalgic evocation of Africa’s past and visions of her future. However, although these were themes common to poets of both English and French expression, the obvious differences between the Francophone poets and the Anglophone writers of the 1930s and 1940s have been generally noted. Because of the intensity with which they felt their physical exile from Africa, coupled with their exposure to the experimental contemporary modes of writing in F
