A commercial bus driver, identified as Emeka Ugwudiobi has been accused of defiling one of his passengers from 7 p.m. to 10 a.m. at gun point in an uncompleted building around Mayor Market, Enugu.
According to the prosecution counsel, Mr Francis Ajagu, the driver plies the New Market-Gariki route and the victim was one of his passengers.
On that fateful day, the driver noticed only the victim was remaining in the bus and drove to an uncompleted building beside the Mayor Market and started defiling the victim.
Ajagu said the victim was defiled from 7 p.m. to 10 a.m. without break and that the pleas of the victim to allow her rest fell on deaf ears. The victim was rescued by one Mr Chidubem Ezeorah, a passerby who ran into the scene and reported the case to the police.
He said that the victim could hardly stand on her feet when the police came to her rescue in the uncompleted building.
However, Mr Obeta Peter, the counsel to the accused, who described the accused as a responsible man with a wife and four children said Emeka had been driving for the past 16 years and that nobody had ever complained that he was a defiler.
He denied that his client had ever set eyes on the victim before, adding that there was no way a bus driver would carry a gun inside his bus and the police would not notice.
Justice Dorathy Agishi ordered the accused to be remanded in prison custody while adjourning the case to Feb. 26, 2014 for further hearing.

I dont believe this.I am an Enugu Boy.Mayor Market is on the busiest road in Enugu.The Road is called Agbani Road.The Road runs from Akwata,behind Ogbete Main Market Enugu,through Coal Camp Enugu,through Uwani Enugu,through Awkanaknaw Enugu(where the Mayor Market is situated) to Garki Enugu,before joining the Enugu Portharcourt Express Road.Mayor Market is on the road.In fact Mayor bus stop is in front of the market.I can make bold to say there is no uncompleted building on the road in front of Mayor market.There is no uncompleted building 500 meters before Mayor market and 500 meters after Mayor market.Besides Mayor market is always busy even in the dead of the night.It is impossible to rape a girl in Mayor market.So I think this man is being set up.
