Former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar has called for
adequate protection of women against defilement and other forms of violence.
Atiku made the call while reacting to the death of Vera
Uwaila Omozuwa, a 100-level Microbiology student of the University of Benin,
UNIBEN, who was allegedly raped and murdered by some unknown persons last week.
Vera was raped while reading inside a Redeemed Christian
Church of God, RCCG, worship centre in Benin city.
The PDP chieftain who decried the increase in cases of rape
in the country called for a review of ‘rape laws.’
According to him, this will ensure that every perpetrator of
the act are brought to book.
He tweeted, “I just spoke to the family of the late Uwa
Omozuwa. I expressed my deepest condolences over her rape and murder. I feel
their anguish. Sadly, rape is now a pandemic in our country.
“It is time we reviewed the laws on rape to ensure that
there are no escape routes in the investigation, prosecution, conviction and
adequate punishment for this heinous crime.”
