One of the killers of Uwaila Vera
Omozua, who was murdered while studying inside a Redeem Christian Church of
God, RCCG in Edo State has confessed that he received 1 million Naira to kill
his victim.
Uwaila, a 100 level Microbiology
student of UNIBEN, was gruesomely raped and murdered in May 2020.
The suspect, Collins Uligbe, who
hails from Agbor in Ika North East Local Government Area of Delta State, made
the confession while being paraded alongside other suspects by the Edo State
Police Command.
Collins said his landlady, Mrs
Mary Ade, gave them N1 million to kill the undergraduate.
He said after the act, he used a
handkerchief given to him by Mrs Mary Ade to wipe Uwa’s blood and private part
and returned it to his landlady.
According to him, she wanted to
use it for rituals.
He gave the names of the other
suspected killers as Nelson Ogbebor, Tina Samuel, another lady, Valentine Akato
and Nosa Osabohien.
Narrating the incident, Collins
said although they were six that carried out the crime, he was outside giving
them signals before he joined them inside the church.
Collins said Nelson he hit the
victim with a plank and when she tried to stand up he hit her with the fire
extinguisher in the church.
The suspects were traced through
a man who bought the victim’s phone for N17,000.
“I bought phone from Collins; on
27th May Osaro came to my workplace at Agba Park, we bargained and he sold the
phone for N17,000 to me. The next week I was tracked and arrested,” the man had
confessed.
However, Mary Ade, denied the
allegation, saying she neither gave him the money nor asked him to wipe the
lady’s private part.
Recall that the death of Uwa had
raised concerns and stirred reactions from notable figures, as well as
Nigerians on the social media.
