Following the alleged rape and eventual murder of Vera Omozuwa, a 100-level Microbiology student of University of Benin, in the state capital, the Governor of Edo state, Godwin Obaseki has directed that thorough investigation should be carried out to unravel the mysteries behind her death.
Obaseki, according to his spokesman, Crusoe Osagie, mandated the Nigeria Police Force (NPF) and other relevant security agencies to fish out the culprits, who perpetuated the dastardly act and bring them to justice.
“The governor is deeply saddened by the news of the death of Miss Vera Uwaila Omozuwa. We have been in consultation with the Edo State Command of the Nigeria Police Force (NPF) and have mandated thorough investigation of the matter to ensure that those who are responsible for this heinous crime are brought to justice.”
Omozuwa was alleged to have been raped after her head was smashed with a fire extinguisher at a Pentecostal church in Benin, which consequently led to her death.
