The rape and death of Vera Uwaila Omozuwa, a student of the University of Benin, Governor Godwin Obaseki of Edo State has assured, will not go unpunished.
Saddened by the obnoxious and unconscionable act, Obaseki also said he’s ordered a thorough investigation of the matter.
“I am 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 and have mandated thorough investigation of the matter to ensure that those who are responsible for this heinous crime are brought to justice.
“We would ensure that the full weight of the law run its course. We will take advantage of the Violence Against Persons (VAP) Law and other such laws related to rape and sexual abuse to get justice for late Miss Vera Uwaila Omozuwa.”
