#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.

It is never okay to rape, or support rape and rapists in m any way. It is never the victim's fault, no matter the circumstances.
Let us join hands and stand firm against this societal menace, and teach future generations that no matter what, No means No!

A rapist is a rapist. A person. Stop making rape seem like an act that’s exclusive to animals when we’ve clearly seen that humans are very capable of it. 5 men gang raped an 18 year old woman. They are men, not animals. #justiceforjennifer https://t.co/UskKu2eGIL

There's nothing I want so bad like the death penalty for rapists. When an example is set with 6 or more people. Rapists will think twice before raping anyone. #justiceforjennifer #justiceforjennifer #justiceforjennifer #justiceforjennifer

Say no to Rape.
Anyone who rapes a girl/woman is an animal and should not be allowed in the society. You're a beast if it's okay with you. 💔💔💔
Say no to any sexual abuse.#JusticeForJennifer pic.twitter.com/VKxBnnWPpZ— yaGuda (@aisha_yaGuda) May 11, 2020
