Gang-raped and battered, 14-year-old Delta girl’s thorny path to justice
TESSY IGOMU writes about the travails of a teenager gang-raped by seven men in Issele-Uku, Delta State
Oluchi Okoh is brilliant and smart, and hopes to become a medical doctor in future. The 14-year-old, who is in her last term in senior secondary school can’t wait to gain admission into any of the country’s prestigious medical schools to achieve her dream.
But all of that is in the past. That enthusiasm has been replaced by melancholy and deep-seethed resentment.
Oluchi was allegedly gang-raped by seven men and left for dead on May 6, 2021, at the Ogboli Quarters, Issele-Uku, in the Aniocha North Local Government Area of Delta State.
