Naija News recalls that soldiers stationed at a military checkpoint at Ikare-Akoko in Akoko North-East Local Government Area were recently charged with raping the student while on their way to school.

Although it was previously thought that this was gang rape, the investigations of the authorities exonerated the other soldiers.

Femi Joseph, a public relations official of the state police, confirmed Sunday that the suspect had been handed over to the police and that he would soon be busy.
