Fear In Enugu Schools As Youths Threaten To Kidnap, Rape Female Students
Over 2000 students of two female secondary schools in Enugu State on Wednesday, took to the streets, protesting alleged threat to kidnap and rape them by Umakashi youths, a community in Nsukka Local Government Area of the State.
The schools involved are St Cypril Secondary School and St Cypril Special Science School, both in Nsukka.
Both schools belong to the Anglican Diocese of Nsukka.
DAILY POST reports that over 200 priests joined the students during the protest in solidarity.
Speaking on the matter, the Anglican Bishop of Nsukka, Rt Rev Aloysius Agbo, condemned the action of the youths, who he said had already destroyed the perimeter fence in the schools.
He said youths from Umakashi numbering about 500 had earlier on March 11, armed with dangerous weapons, invaded the school compound, destroying the school fence and threatening to kidnap female students in the hostel.
The youths were allegedly led by their president, Mr Samuel Asadu.
“On that fateful day, youths from Umakashi, the host community numbering about 500 invaded the school compound with dangerous weapons and surrounded the school.Agbo said the church had informed the state governor, commissioner for Education as well as the police as security of the schools were under threat, especially given the fact that the two schools are girls schools and that 95 per cent of students live in hostels.
“Some went to the girls’ hostels threatening to kidnap them as a bargaining power for us to vacate the land.
“After pulling down the school fence, they entered the school compound and started mapping out land into plots and sharing it among themselves,” he said.
“We have gone to court on this trespass by the community but later agreed for dialogue and the matter was struck out on November 2016.
“This land was give to the church in 1956 by their forefathers and I wonder why some youths will wake up one day and trespass into land.
“My happiness is that the church has necessary documents of the land and urged elders of Umakashi to call their youths to order and remind them that they are fighting God and not church,” he added.
Earlier in a separate interviews, the senior perfect of St Cypril Science Secondary School Miss Shalom Aneke and the senior perfect of St Cypril Girls Secondary School Miss Sandra Ugwu said the development had put fear on them as many students do not come for evening prep any longer owing to fear of being raped.
When contacted, the president of Umakashi youths denied breaking the fence of the school.
However, he accepted that youths from the area were there on March 11 to share part of the land belonging to the community which he claimed the church encroached upon.
“We did not break the school fence but we went there to share part of our land the church encroached upon,” he said.

We RefuseTo Be Slaves On Our Own Land! Yoruba Groups Seeks Caution Over Ife/Hausa Crises
The Oodu Peoples Congress (OPC) has warned that it would not sit still and watch the Yoruba nation being conquered.
This
came in reaction to alleged indiscriminate arrest of Ife indigene by
security operatives following clashes between the people and their Hausa
counterparts.
It was reported that a bloody clash erupted between the two groups leading to the death of some people.
It
was rumoured that the security operatives deployed to the area after
the tragic incident were picking up the Yroubas especially influential
ones for arrest.
Otunba Gani Adam who
is the national coordinator of the OPC called on the government to
exercise caution especially in the arrest of people.
He said: “We will not want this
hospitality to be mistaken for cowardice. The Yoruba race is not and
will never submit to being a conquered nation. We say no, to any
treatment that will restrict us to being slaves on our own land. We say
no to any measure skewed to favour only a side in a crisis of this
nature. We call for the release of all the arrested Ife indigenes while a
better amicable way be proffered to settle frayed nerves and settle the
crisis permanently.’
Mr Yinka Odumakin who is the national publicity secretary of the Afenifere, a Yoruba group, also responded to the issue.
He claimed the security operatives engaged in a one-sided for of arrest targeting at the Yorubas.
Afenifere said: “We are miffed
that security operatives sectionally mobilized have moved to Ife after
the incident to carry out one-sided mass arrests of Yoruba people who
are mostly notables and could never have participated in any riot. As at
the time of making this statement, all of those so indiscriminately
arrested have either been taken to either the state police command in
Osogbo or Force Headquarters in Abuja.’’
Meanwhile, following the tragic incident, it was reported that the Hausas had started fleeing the area.
Hundreds of Hausas were reportedly leaving in batches, through commercial buses and cars.
While some of them took Ilesa route, others followed Akure route where they could get direct vehicles to the North.
The
Sun newspaper reports that the Hausa people claimed that it was only
their people that lost their lives, following attacks by hoodlums whom
they said, used dangerous weapons, including guns, cutlasses and cudgels
among others.
