Abia State Gang Rape: ABSU Students Protest Innocence Over Gang Rape Story!

Students comprising young boys and girls carried out a protest with various inscription on placards, saying they are not what people think they are like: RAPISTS.

I can see girls with placards demonstrating and that brings me to the my questions:

1. Are these girls aware that it was a young girl like them that was raped by 5 men?

2. Are these boys aware that it could have been their sister?

3. How does this protest help the raped victim?
