The management of the University of Benin (UNIBEN) in Edo
state has reacted to the alleged rape and murder of Vera Omozuwa, a 100-level
microbiology student of the varsity, inside a church.
Omozuwa was reportedly raped on March 27, while she wasreading inside a parish of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) nearIkpoba Hill in Benin.
The attackers of the student had reportedly smashed her head
with a fire extinguisher which left her unconscious and led to her death.
According to NAN, Lilian Salami, the vice-chancellor of the
institution, in a statement on Sunday, described the incident as shocking.
In the statement by Benedicta Ehanire, the institution’s
public relations officer, the VC said the actions of the attackers were
reprehensible and should not be condoned in any society.
She said the current COVID-19 pandemic was already hard on
everyone and that compounding it with inflicting additional pain on any family
was a wicked act.
While commiserating with the bereaved family, Salami prayed
God to grant her soul peaceful rest.
The vice chancellor also urged students of the institution
and indeed all young people to be wary of the company they kept and the places
they visited.
She added that a delegation had been sent by the
university’s management to commiserate with the bereaved family.
