However, two of the alleged rapists have been arrested by officials of the state command of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, NSCDC. Four other suspects are on the run.
According to the victim, the 6 boys blindfolded her and threatened to rip her open with knife if she failed to cooperate.
