Policemen on the Rapid Response Squad in Aba Division, Abia, sexually assaulted a student of the Abia Polytechnic in Aba.

The victim was allegedly hurled out of her room, and taken away by the policemen.

She is in hospital now.

The incident has led to a protest by the polytechnic students.

Mrs. Nkechi Ikpeazu, wife of the the state governor, visited the student, assuring her foundation, Vicar Hope, will foot her medical bills as well as ensure justice is done in the matter.

The Abia First Lady was represented by Dr Suzzy Nwachukwu, medical personnel attached to her office.

She directed that the lady be moved to another medical facility within the state for better care and warned those alleged to be threatening her to prepare for the full weight of the law.

Similarly, the Abia State Government has called on the Commissioner of Police, Mrs Janet Agbede, to expeditiously investigate allegations of harassment of students and other citizens by security agents in the state.
