Obaseki Pays Visit To Family Of Late UNIBEN Student Who Was Raped (Photos)

The Edo State Governor, Mr. Godwin Obaseki, over the weekend paid a visit to the family of late Uwaila Omozuwa, a 100 Level Microbiology student of the University of Benin who was gruesomely murdered in a church in 2020.

Omozuwa’s death caused national outrage last year after her body was found inside a parish of the Redeemed Christian Church of God in Edo state after she had been raped. Read here.

Speaking during his visit to the family, Governor Obaseki said;

‘’Uwaila did not die in vain. The federal and state governments have taken stiffer actions against gender-based violence. We are here to continue to celebrate her life as we continue to fight against gender-based violence.

“Her death was the reason for the establishment of gender-based violence committee. The Edo State Government has put mechanisms in place to fight gender-based violence-related offenses.

“Her death led to the promulgation of the Violence Against Persons (VAP) law in the state and people are now aware of the crime.”
