A commercial bus driver, identified as
Emeka Ugwudiobi has been accused of
raping one of his passengers from 7 p.m.
to 10 a.m. at gun point in an
uncompleted building around Mayor
Market, Enugu.

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 that fateful day, the driver noticed
only the victim was remaining in the bus
and drove to an uncompleted building
beside the Mayor Market and started
raping the victim.

Ajagu said the victim was raped from 7
p.m. to 10 a.m. without break and that
the pleas of the victim to allow her
rest fell on deaf ears. The victim was
rescued by one Mr Chidubem Ezeorah, a
passerby who ran into the scene and
reported the case to the police.

He said that the victim could hardly
stand on her feet when the police came
to her rescue in the uncompleted
building.

However, Mr Obeta Peter, the counsel to
the accused, who described the accused
as a responsible man with a wife and
four children said Emeka had been
driving for the past 16 years and that
nobody had ever complained that he was a
rapist.

He denied that his client had ever set
eyes on the victim before, adding that
there was no way a bus driver would
carry a gun inside his bus and the
police would not notice.

Justice Dorathy Agishi ordered the
accused to be remanded in prison custody
while adjourning the case to Feb. 26,
2014 for further hearing.

Hmmmmm! long pause!..may God expose the truth. However, 7pm-10am sounds more like a deal that went wrong (e sweet u, e sweet me, who go pay, and someone got very upset). One driver in a bus with 2 hands holding a steering, legs on the brake and throttle, veered off the route you are going to, maneuvered to an uncompleted building, and with an empty word told a healthy 23yr old "if you talk I shoot u" (with which hand please?), and kept driving, and she sat quietly, didn't break windows, didn't struggle with the steering, etc. e be as the story get o!

R*ape? Yes, bc maybe she got tired & said "No' at some point, but the man continued. Doing it against a girl's will (even if she's ur girlfriend) is considered r*ape. Jail sentence? Yes, bc she said 'No' at some point. But her story being true?, maybe not!
