UNDERCOVER INVESTIGATION: FGGC Langtang security guard pimps schoolgirls for N5,000
With N5,000, or even less, one of the security guards employed to
protect students at the Federal Government Girls College (FGGC),
Langtang, Plateau state, would gladly love-vendor the girls to
strangers.
Speaking to TheCable’s undercover reporter, the guard gave an insight
into how he organises “runs” for the teenagers for a fee, and how this
is a common practice. This investigation by FEMI OWOLABI and SEYI
AWOJULUGBE also exposes the rot in the once-prestigious Unity School,
where students use water from an untreated well, sleep on broken beds,
study in hostile classrooms — and live practically unprotected from
predators.

You are in Langtang, Plateau state, for the weekend and need a
schoolgirl for the evening? Someone is ready to help you make the
arrangement for a fee. You can even have more than one girl if you
choose. There are plenty of them at the nearby Federal Government Girls
College (FGGC). The love-vendor is actually paid to protect the girls,
but that is by the way.
Before TheCable set out for Langtang, the guard — whose phone number
the reporter had collected from an acquaintance — consistently beat his
chest and gave assurances that getting girls out of the hostel “is no
big deal”, and it was soon obvious that the love-vendor had been in the
business for a long time.
Bani
Guest House, a popular lodge along the Langtang highway, is well known
to the girls, the guard said. He explained that most of them do attend
Sunday evening parties at Bani, where their boyfriends come to wait for
them.
The reporter had disguised as a visiting businessman in need of girls
to spend “a nice time” with. He promised to pay the guard more than
what he would ask for. All the “big man” needed was a guarantee of a
swell time. The excited guard called endlessly, excessively delighted
with the business at hand.
TheCable ran into a little bad luck along the way — the timing of the
visit coincided with when the SS3 girls were writing their exams in
July 2017, and other classes were on vacation. But, not to worry, the
guard was ready to pull the strings all the same.
Settling over a plate of rice ordered for him at the guest house, the
guard told his would-be customer that girls in SS3 who were rounding
off their final exams would make the perfect picks.
“I
am giving you outgoing students,” he said, his face loosening into a
smile. “There are some writing exams, it’s just to get a clue to know
them and ask if they can do this for me. There are girls who do ‘runs’
but the issue is money.”
The guard, who was quick to request for money so he could move round
and also “sort out” the girls’ transportation, revealed that there are a
couple of schoolgirls who are into the act of sneaking out of the
school premises.
“You’ll discuss how much you’ll give them,” he said, pocketing the
N5,000 the reporter had given him as upfront for the task. “All those
girls are small girls and they don’t know money much. If you treat them
well, they will look for you if you’re still around.”
The guard had left his duty post. For hours, he was moving round the
school, searching for girls who could be available under the tight
deadline.
“I have arranged two girls now, and they will come to meet you when
they are done with their exams today,” he would later say on phone.
