A 22-year-old UNIBEN student was raped and murdered inside RCCG church in Edo.

A 100-level microbiology student of the University of Benin (UNIBEN) in Edo identified as Vera Uwaila Omozuwa has been confirmed dead after she was raped inside Redeemed Christian Church of God near Ikpoba Hill in Benin city Edo state Nigeria.

She went to the church to read on Wednesday, May 27, 2020 and while reading in the church, she was attacked and raped after which a fire extinguisher was smashed on her head which left her unconscious before she was rushed to the hospital.

However, she couldn’t make it alive because of the injuries sustained during the brutal attack.

This horrible incident that happened right inside the place of worship it’s a total wickedness.

Meanwhile, the general overseer or The Redeemed Christian Church has responded to the incident.

He said:

All I can do at this time is to pray for the family of Omozuwa and do everything possible working with relevant authorities to bring the perpetrators to book.

I and members of my Family condemn this act strongly and urge everyone to stay calm as we are already looking into the matter and cooperating with the police to establish the facts of the shocking incident.
