In the rape video, which lasted well over an hour, the girl could be seen trying to fight off the rapists. When her efforts proved abortive amidst beatings, she resorted to pleading with them to spare her; but her pleas fell on deaf ears. And when she could not take the excruciating pain any longer, she begged them to kill her, for the stigma the Nigeria society would attach to her ordeal. As she pleaded with them, the boys laughed and mocked her, asking her to ‘co-operate’ or face two more days of torture by rape.
The incident, which is believed to have occured in Abia State sparked outrage nationwide.
Update: Abia state police commissioner Bala Hassan told The Associated Press on Saturday two university students have been questioned in connection to a gang-rape video posted on the Internet that sparked outrage in the country. the questioning came after detectives read online comments alleging the men were involved. Hassan said police haven’t spoken to the victim of the rape or received a formal complaint over the attack. Hassan said no one has been arrested or charged.
The rape victim also appears to have been located. A women's rights group has said they are now in touch with her and are trying to get her out of Abia State to where she can receive counselling and medical attention. This high-profile case has highlighted what campaigners say is the Nigerian police's refusal to take rape seriously as a crime.
ECULAW GROUP is offering N250,000 in reward for information leading to the location of and access to the young woman shown in the video as the victim of the gang rape. All information shall be treated as confidential and should be sent to [email protected] This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

A statement from the Law Firm says "Students of Abia State University, Please take note. Salvage the reputation of your school. Say no to rape. Ensure justice is done.
"Anyone who knows this lady should help trace her and her family. These deranged criminals may kill the poor girl. If she is alive she is safer coming out to the open and quickly reveal the identity of her attackers. It is a duty she owes humanity, forget the shame and pain this may bring, God will completely heal your wound.
"Let friends coleagues and classmate who know what has happened volunteer information. These criminals only succeed if their evil deeds are kept secret. Once their identity is revealed they lose all the power they have"
