The management of University of
Benin, UNIBEN has reacted to the rape and gruesome murder of one of its
students, Uwaila Vera Omozuwa.
The victim,
a 100-level
Microbiology student of the institution was raped and murdered by unknown men
at the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Edo Province 10, Ikpoba Hill, Benin,
where she had gone to read.
Reacting
to the news, the Vice-Chancellor of UNIBEN, Lilian Salami, in a statement
through the institution’s Public Relations Officer, Benedicta Ehanire,
described the incident as shocking.
She
said the actions were condemnable and should not be condoned by any society.
The VC 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 on the loss of their daughter, Mrs Salami prayed God to grant
her soul peaceful rest.
The vice-chancellor urged
students of the institution and indeed all young people to be wary of the
company they kept and the places they visited.
