In new reports following the wake of rape and sexual assault that’s had Nigerian internet buzzing over the last few days, a new case of attempted rape followed by murder has just been reported.
An 18-year-old lady, identified as Barakat Bello is reported to have murdered at her home in Ibadan after she resisted rape.
Though there are multiple versions of this story. According to Twitter user, @DrOlufunmilayo who shared the news, Barakat was home alone when the incident occurred.
Barakat, a Muslim Hijabi sister, was home alone when suspected armed robbers invaded her home to steal and in course of that, raped and killed her.
Another report gathered says that the deceased was stabbed to death by the robbers while resisting their attempt to rape her.
Barakat was a year 1 student in the Federal College of animal health and production in Ibadan. She has since been buried.
