UNIBEN Student Raped And Murdered Inside RCCG Church

A 23-year-old lady, identified as Uwaila Omozuwa, has died at the University of Benin Teaching Hospital (UBTH), Edo State after she was beaten and raped inside her local church.

It was gathered that Uwaila, who was a 100-level Microbiology student of UNIBEN, goes to read every day at The Redeemed Christian Church of God, Edo Province 10, Ikpoba Hill, Benin, but was unfortunately beaten, raped and hit with a fire extinguisher by unknown men on Wednesday, 27th May 2020.














As stated by a source, “The church’s security officer had gone to collect the keys to the church from its keeper when he was told that there was someone in the church already .
"He got to the church only to find Uwaila in a pool of blood and next to her was the fire extinguisher which was used to bash her face.

"He ran back to inform the key keeper and his wife, who went to the church to meet her lifeless, thinking she was dead. After careful observation, they noticed she moved her hand and quickly rushed her to the hospital.

"It was at the hospital that Uwaila revealed she was reading all alone when some unknown men came into the church, beat, raped and hit her head with a fire extinguisher. However, she later passed on."

The case was eventually reported to Oregbeni Police Station, but nothing has been done about it so far. Her friends and family have now taken to social media to demand action, using the hashtag #JusticeForUwa.
