The female undergraduate of the Federal University of Technology Akure (FUTA), Ondo State, who was seen in a viral video being brutalised by five ladies and a guy, has narrated what led to the attack.

In a viral footage, which sparked outrage on social media over the weekend, Boluwatife Adekunle was beaten by the ladies and the guy all said to be students of the institution.

Speaking to SaharaReporters in Akure, on Tuesday, the young lady said she wants justice served.

Narrating her ordeal, she explained that she was attacked by her colleagues for revealing how one of their boyfriends forcefully tried to have an affair with her.

Adekunle revealed that she was assaulted in one of the private hostels outside the school campus by the group in a bid to be disgraced among fellow students.

She said,

“The whole issue started a few weeks ago. I and one of the ladies in the video called ‘Faith’ were roommates in a hostel outside campus.

“Her boyfriend began asking me out but I felt it was not proper for me to date him. I rejected his advances.

“But instead of him to leave me alone, the guy kept disturbing me, so I had to report him to Faith because I don’t want trouble.

“Before then, I had been having some issues with Faith as she had been living a wayward life on campus which I didn’t like.

“From that point, she started seeing me as talking bad about her to people around our area.

“During this period, her boyfriend kept pestering me to date him but I refused.

“Instead of Faith to caution her boyfriend, she accused me of planning to sleep with her man.

“On the day that I was assaulted, she invited me to a room in one of the hostels and boyfriend and other ladies were inside the place already.

“Immediately I entered the place, they locked the door and asked me to kneel down while the guy was asking if he ever asked me for a date.

“Since I refused to kneel down, they began to beat me and also tried to strip me naked.

“They used a stick to hit me on my head and punched me on my face. The guy used horsewhip to flog me several times.

“They said they would make sure they disgraced me on campus, I pleaded with them but they refused and I was about to faint when they stopped beating me.

“As I speak, I feel pains all over my body due to the beatings. Their plan was to kill me. I want them arrested and face the consequences of their action.”
