AKURE—RAPE cases in 

volving minors and the recent 

rape of a 300 level 

student of Adekunle Ajasin 

University, Akungba Akoko, 

AAUA, in the state by soldiers 

had infuriated Mrs. Betty Anyanwu-Akeredolu, 

wife of the Ondo 

State governor and many other 

concerned people in the state. 

The student, who is of the Department 

of Religious and African 

Studies of the institution, was 

raped by suspected soldiers at a 

checkpoint in Ikare Akoko, in 

Akoko North-East council area 

of the state last Wednesday 

while returning from campus. 

The one million protest march 

was scheduled for Thursday, August 

8 according to the statement 

issued by the office of the wife 

of the governor. 

In fact, a protest was organised 

by Mrs Akeredolu register her 

displeasure over the menace. 

Protest against rape 

halted 

Reliable sources confided in 

Vanguard that pressure from 

Army authorities swayed the 

mind of the wife of the governor 

to jettison the march. 

She was said to have been prevailed 

upon not to further embarrass 

the military by adorning its 

uniform to lead a one million 

march against rape after some 

soldiers are under probe for same 

atrocity in the state. 

A statement issued earlier in 

the week announcing the one million 

march stated that the “Wife 

of Ondo State Governor, Betty 

Anyanwu-Akeredolu will on 

Thursday, 8th August, 2019, stage 

a walk against rape in army uniform 

tagged: 1 Million-Woman 

Protest March, in protest against 

the alleged rape committed by an 

army officer in Ondo State. 

“The walk is to take off from 

NEPA roundabout car park at 7 

am, with series of messages and 

campaigns against rape in the 

State, it will route through Shoprite 

to Federal Secretariat and 

to the CP’s office at the police 

headquarters where it would terminate.” 

Wife of the governor had hitherto 

received commendation for 

a similar walk against rape across 

the state last month after two 

girls, ages 6 and 7 who were defiled 

in Irele and Owo areas of 

the state 

Anyanwu-Akeredolu during the 

walk had called for a stiffer penalty 

for the perpetrators of such 

act, saying it is high time an end 

is put to it in Ondo state and by 

extension the country. 

The protest, tagged: One million 

Woman Protest March 

Against Rape in Army Uniform 

THE TEAM 

has, however, been halted and led 

tongues wagging. 

A statement issued suspending 

the march by the Chief Press Secretary 

to the wife of the 

governor, Miss Tobiloba Fademi 

said: “As part of her strategic 

moves to ensure amicable resolution 

of conflicts, adherence to 

the rule of law and protection of 

the dignity of Girl-Child and 

womanhood in Ondo State, the 

Wife Ondo State Governor, Betty 

Anyanwu-Akeredolu has suspended 

her proposed protest 

against Rape in Ondo State, earlier 

scheduled for Thursday, 8th 

August, 2019.” 

Victim’s family under 

pressure to drop 

charges 

However, reports from the family 

of the rape victim indicated 

that pressures were mounted on 

them to drop the matter and allow 

for an amicable settlement. 

But the family remains adamant, 

hence, the said delay by the 

military to hand over the suspect 

to the police for prosecution. 

Also, the hospital in Ikare 

Akoko where the medical test was

Student’s rape causes 

outrage in Ondo 

•Victim’s family under pressure to drop charges 

•We’ll try suspect if found guilty —Army Commander 

Justice would be 

served, as we 

await the medical 

report from 

the police. We 

will try him and 

if we found him 

guilty, we will 

remove his 

uniform and 

hand him over 

to the police 

conducted kept mum on its findings 

after over a week. 

Governor, Rotimi Akeredolu, 

the AAUA authorities, ASUU and 

the students union of the institution 

insisted that the suspect be 

handed over to the police for 

prosecution. 

Governor Akeredolu, 

who described the offence as callous, 

mindless and heart aching 

said “The full weight of the law 

must be tested in this particular 

case to serve as a deterrent to 

others who seek to undesirably, 

take advantage of the unprotected.” 

On its part, the Acting Registrar 

of the institution, Opeoluwa Akinfemiwa 

said: “The University, 

while commending the swift action 

taken so far by the Brigade 

Commander on this inhuman and 

brazen assault on a defenceless 

and innocent student, calls on the 

authorities of the Nigerian Army 

to deal decisively with the 

perpetrator(s) of the act against 

humanity.” 

We’ll try suspects if 

found guilty 

—Army Commander 

Meanwhile, the Military authorities 

said it was yet to conclude 

investigation on the alleged 

rape by soldiers at the military 

checkpoint between Akungba 

Akoko and Ikare Akoko area of 

the state over a week ago. 

The Commander of the 32 Artillery 

Brigade, Brigadier-General 

Zakari Abubakar said that those 

involved are in the army detention 

while they await the medical report 

from the police which was 

important in the ongoing investigation. 

Abubakar said: “In spite of all 

odds, I will want a proper investigation 

conducted on this issue 

due to the gravity of the matter. 

We have gone down to the location, 

conducted investigations 

and even went as far as inviting 

the family of the lady for questioning 

and we have heard their 

own side of the story. 

“Justice would be served, as we 

await the medical report from the 

police. We will try him and if we 

found him guilty, we will remove 

his uniform and hand him over to 

the police.” 

Ondo Police speaks 

Spokesperson of the Ondo Police 

Command, Mr. Femi Joseph 

said the authority was waiting to 

receive the suspect from their 

sister agency. 

Joseph said that the military 

“was putting everything necessary 

in place before handing the suspect 

over to the appropriate authority, 

constitutionally empowered 

to prosecute such a crime 

committed by any officer of the 

law.” 

Satellite town 

residents kick 

against new 

tank farm 

terminals 

By Cynthia Alo 

RESIDENTS of Satellite 

town in Lagos State, 

under the aegis of Satellite 

Town Forum, have urged the 

Federal and Lagos State 

governments to stop 

authorizing more tank farms 

and terminals in Ijegun-egba 

area of the community to save 

the residents from further 

havoc emanating from tank 

farm activities around the 

areas. 

The residents made this plea 

during a forum on the 

environmental impact 

assessment of a new tank farm 

terminal in Ijegun- Egba 

community of the area. 

The proposed terminal was 

being reviewed by the Lagos 

State Ministry of environment 

and other experts in 

engineering, climate change, 

and waste management. 

Chairman of Satellite town 

forum, Governor Michael 

Imitini-led some of the 

residents to the forum 

pleading with the ministry not 

to allow more heavy-duty 

investment in the area with 

the approval of the new tank 

farm terminal. 

Recounting the ordeal of the 

residents caused by existing 

tank farm terminals in the 

community to the forum, 

Imitini said: “We have been 

crying for help for several 

years but to no avail. Tank 

farm activities in the area have 

only increased our sufferings, 

loss of lives, daily traffic 

gridlock, deteriorating 

businesses, flooding, and bad 

roads.” 

In addition, he said: “Today, 

individuals are bringing in 

more terminals of which we 

already have one at Alakija, 

Satellite town area that has 

brought hardship in the area. 

There is another one at Abule 

ado and Abule Osun. We are 

urging the Federal 

Government and Federal 

Ministry of Environment to 

stop the approval. Approving 

a new tank farm will only force 

the host community to go 

hostile like in the case of the 

Niger Delta agitators. 

Therefore, we are appealing 

to the Federal government not 

to approve the container 

terminal.” 

However, the State Ministry 

of Environment promised to 

look into the matter adding 

that the new company must 

take into consideration the 

existing challenges in the host 

communities and how they 

can play a role in addressing 

it. 

The Ministry, represented by 

Mr. O. Tejuosho pointed out 

that if the country must move 

on, there must be 

development adding that “We 

cannot stop development but 

we can mitigate it.”

A16 —Vanguard, FRIDAY, AUGUST 9, 2019 

An old saying goes, “men 

may work from sun to 

sun, but a woman's work is 

never done”. This saying 

certainly stands true 

especially for Africa 

Homemakers that have no 

time of their own. They 

work 24/7 to be sure their 

home is in order but never 

think of making sure their 

own lives are in order. 

A little time set aside for 

yourself isn't too much to 

make you loose that customer 

in your shop. It won’t make 

your children wayward not to 

talk of making your husband 

to look outside. Rather, it 

enhances your beauty and 

gives you long life to enjoy 

your labour as home makers. 

It doesn't matter the time of 

the day or the day of the week 

that you can spare, take the 

time and the steps to pamper 

yourself. Remember that you 

as a whole are what you are 

stuck with for life. So treat 

yourself well and like 

yourself. 

Rest is not idleness and not 

waste of time. Always have 

it in mind that if you are not 

there, another person will do 

it. Do not be deceived that if 

you are not there, your 

children will suffer. They will 

succeed without you. There 

are many orphans out there 

who are doing well in life 

even at younger age but you 

need to be alive for yourself 

Any life that work very hard 

without rest is cut off from 

fulfiling purpose on earth. 

Here is a way to pamper 

yourself this week 

Take time out to 

practice some self 

love 

Look in the mirror and list 

everything about yourself 

that you love from your hair 

to your toes. Tell yourself that 

you are amazing and 

wonderfully made and that 

you deserve to be loved. 

For example: your hair. Eye 

balls, face, eye lids, eye 

lashes, lips, teeth, smiles, 

boobs, rump or bum etc. 

Love yourself as you 

love your home 

Rest is not idleness 

Celebrate all what you love 

about yourself and walk tall 

with them. 

Then, consider the things 

you would like to improve, 

without thinking negatively 

about those things. For 

example, instead of thinking 

‘I have rough face”, tell 

yourself, “I am going to take 

time to get information on how 

to make my face smooth and 

There are many 

orphans out 

there who are 

doing well in 

life even at 

younger age but 

you need to be 

alive for 

yourself 

glow”. 

Happiness is the outward 

result of joy within and joy 

is developed in you when 

you love yourself. 

Have a great week
