Rape happens everyday in Nigeria, I wonder why people had to put the ABSU rape case ahead like it was the first ever rape case, SMH

Lord have mercy on your people. I don't really understand what's going on o. hmm. People need to get it together cause this is just plain ridiculous.
And I think that the ABSU rape was taken so far because everyone was given the unfortunate opportunity to see the rape as it happened. It wasn't a hearsay thing; therefore, emotions ran high on that one. Rape is rape and the most important thing is that: It's Wrong.
