The Governor of Cross River State, Sen Ben Ayade has received
praises from the family and community of the gang rape victim for directing the
Attorney General of Cross River State Barr. Joe Abang to immediately provide
Lawyers that has been representing the victim of the Ikom gang rape incident in
Court.
It would be recalled that the Governor has earlier directed the state
Attorney General to prosecute the perpetrators that raped a young married woman
in Okuni, Ikom.
The gang rape happened at cocoa farm in Okuni, where the
victim’s husband and brother were tied up at Gun point while Their wife was
ganged raped in front of her husband until she passed out.
April this year, Okuni women had marched in thousands to
protest the ugly situation which alerted the state government to respond to the
case.
As a follow up to relieve the victim of emotional and
psychological trauma, The Governor of Cross River State Sen. Ben Ayade has
given a huge financial support to the victim to start up a business through the
DG of Primary Health Care Development Agency Dr Betta Edu.
Presenting the funds, the DG said “when people faces this
kind of situation, there are always depressed as such someone must show them
love so that they don’t die in their dilemma. The Governor has asked me to give
you this money to enable you start up a good business so that you can fend for
yourself and family. He wants your family to be financial independent”
The victim, who happily received the money, continuously
thank God for sending the Governor through Dr. Betta Edu to her rescue.
“Ma,
please tell the Governor we are very grateful, God sent him to me and many
CROSS Riverians at this time. May God continue to bless him and prosper you too
the more!"
One can only imagine the trauma the couple is going through.
May God heal their emotional wounds.
And Karma will get those rapists.
Oh, it will!
