This rape incident has sparked wide outrage among Nigerians, with Governor Godwin Obaseki of Edo State giving a marching order to the police to track, arrest and prosecute anyone found culpable.
In a statement, the Redeemed Christian Church identified the 22 year old Vera Uwa Omozuwa as a member of the choir in one of the parishes in Benin and sent condolences to the family for the loss of their daughter.
In a statement, Pastor Olaitan Olubiyi explained that based on the lockdown, all the church parishes were closed.
But that on “Wednesday, 27, May 2020, Miss Uwa Omozuwa had collected the keys to the church hall of her parish as she has been doing since the lockdown began for use for her private educational studies.
“On the said day, when the night guards at the church resumed duties, a little after 7 pm, he found the lady on the floor in the church hall half naked and in the pool of her blood.
“The parents and other people were alerted and she was taken to a nearby hospital from where she was transferred to the University of Benin Teaching Hospital, (UBTH), where efforts were made to save her life.
“Unfortunately, she gave up the ghost on Saturday night”, he said, adding that it is the prayer of the church that God will expose perpetrators of the evil act and help the security agencies to unravel the mystery behind the killers.
