22 -year-Old, Vera Uwaila Omozuwa, a 100 level student of the University of Benin, from the department of Microbiology, faculty of Life Sciences, has died from injuries sustained from rape.
Africa Update gathered that she was allegedly raped on Friday, May 29, near Ikpoba Hill in Benin City, at her church, the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), where she had gone to study, in preparation for the reopening of schools..
The perpetrators were said to have attacked her at the RCCG Ohovbe road branch, raped and smashed her head with a fire extinguisher, leaving her for dead.
Sympathizer had rushed her to the University of Benin Teaching Hospital (UBTH), where she battled for her life at the Intensive Care Unit (ICU).
She, however, gave up the ghost on Saturday, May 30, following excessive loss of blood from the deep cuts sustained during the attack.
Nigerians have since taken to Twitter, using #JusticeForUwa, to demand for justice for Vera, who has just added to the list of numerous victims of rape in the country.
