#JusticeForJennifer trends on popular microblogging app Twitter, as Nigerians seek justice for one Jennifer who was allegedly gang-raped by 5 boys in Narayi, Kaduna State.
Meanwhile, a report emerged online claiming that the suspects want to pay N30,000 for damages so that the case against them can be dropped.
A Twitter user, Uncle Shemzz @shemang_david, who made the claim, shared a video of the traumatised girl who was been comforted by her family.
Uncle Shemzz wrote saying, “This is the 18-year-old girl that was gang raped weeks back in Narayi. The rapists haven’t been charged to court and look like her folks plan to accept payments. No amount can pay for this damage. It’s OUR duty to ensure there’s #JusticeForJennifer,” he added.
Since he shared the video and made the claim, thousands of supports have poured in, making #justiceforJeniffer one of the trends on Twitter.
