STRIKE ? * Nigeria - A day of rage and rape !!!

Wednesday, June 20, 2007. It was the first day of the nationwide strike

Apapa,Lagos,Nigeria -The Daily Sun, by Hola Oshunkeye -June 23, 2007: -- Called by the Nigerian Labour Congress, NLC, and Trade Union Congress, TUC, to protest the unilateral hike in fuel price and 100 percent leap in Value Added Tax, VAT, imposed by the expired Olusegun Obasanjo Administration at the twilight of its life...

Quite unfortunately, two ladies who were not quick in disembarking and they got ‘arrested’ and trapped inside the bus, and before you could scream ‘Yar’Adua’, the sons of the devil had torn the ladies cloths... “They raped the ladies inside the bus in broad daylight,” an eyewitness told Spectacular Encounters categorically shortly after the dust settled. A female resident in Jibowu, who identified herself simply as Basirat, was close to tears as she corroborated the eyewitness account.

They should face the full wrath of the law”...
