ENUGU, Nigeria (VOICE OF NAIJA) – An 18-year-old Nigerian television personality has been reportedly raped by criminals shortly after she concluded a shift over the weekend.
She is attached to a private station in Lapai, Niger State.
The incident occurred while on her way home on Saturday when she received a call asking her to show up at Kobo Primary School in the community, about 150 kilometres west of the Nigerian capital Abuja.
Immediately after she arrived, the assailants quickly drugged her and took turns raping her in one of the school’s classrooms.
The Police spokesman, Abiodun Wasiu, told The Gazette on Tuesday morning that her phone was also collected and searched by the assaulters.

Though the victim’s contact is withheld on privacy grounds, her family member said she would still come forward to tell her story after receiving proper medical treatment.
However, the victim was able to identify one of her attackers after the incident, and police said two people have been taken into custody as the investigation intensified into the matter.
“We are still investigating, and we are making efforts to arrest more suspects.
“Whatever the situation is, we’ll let the public know later.
“It was not immediately clear whether the suspects, whose identities the police said would be released shortly, had reached their legal representatives,” Mr Abiodun said.
