UNIOSUN student says soldier pinned, assaulted her

A female student of Osun State University (UNIOSUN) has alleged that a soldier attempted to sexually assault her during the invasion of student hostels by military personnel in Osogbo.   The student, identified simply as Ademola, recounted her experience in a video shared by OsunDefenderNG. She said she was alone in her hostel room preparing a meal when soldiers returned to the area after she initially believed the disturbance had ended. According to her, the soldiers shone flashlights into her room and ordered her to open the door. After complying, she was questioned about how many people were inside the room. Ademola said she informed one of the soldiers that she was alone because her roommate was away. She alleged that the soldier then became physically aggressive, pinned her against the bathroom door and warned her not to shout. The student further claimed that another soldier entered the room and also tried to restrain her while telling her to remain calm. She said she managed to break free, screamed for help and forced the two men to leave before locking her door. She added that a fellow hostel resident later knocked on her door after hearing the commotion to check on her welfare. The incident follows Monday night’s reported invasion of student hostels by soldiers from the Army Depot, Osogbo. Students alleged that several occupants were assaulted and more than 60 mobile phones and other electronic devices were taken during the operation. Some female students also alleged they were stripped naked and forced to dance unclothed. On Tuesday, the Army Depot, Osogbo, announced that it had opened an investigation into the allegations after receiving a complaint from the National Association of Nigerian Students, South West Zone D. The Army said the probe would establish the facts surrounding the incident and assured the public that any personnel found culpable would be brought to justice.
