A 22 year old 100 level student of Microbiology at the University of Benin, Edo State, Vera Uwaila Omozuwa, has been brutally raped and killed inside a church where she went to read at night.
She was later rushed to the intensive care unit of a hospital in Omozuwa but couldn't make it as she succumbed to the injuries sustained during the brutal attack.
Another source revealed that, “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 reported to Oregbeni Police Station, but nothing has been done about it so far.
Her friends and family have taken to social media to demand justice for her death.

DeleteOh God πππππππππππππππππππ. Which offence kwa....
DeleteI don't understand this story at all. Who gave her the key to the church. This story weak me
ReplyDeleteSaddest thing I heard todayπ’π’ .They will never go unpunished.
ReplyDeleteHeart wrenching news everywhere! π₯.
DeleteThere must have been eyewitnesses. Of course, people would have seen people enter or leave the church premises or act suspiciously around the crime scene at about that time of the incident. I say this because I know that Nigerians still have the spirit of community. It is part of our culture.The only problem here is that people would be afraid of coming out to say what their eyes saw or what their ears heard because of the way the Nigerian Police might twist the story against them, get their identities exposed and also arrest them and possibly charge them with murder. Sad how an informant or helper ends up being a victim. I will not go into DNA testing here because it's a useless suggestion …, in Nigeria. Sad how a studious and religious girl lost her life in the most cruel of manners and at a place one would have considered safe - Church premises with a security guard! Well, I would definitely suggest that the investigators not look too far away from the location of the crime scene in search of the perpetrators of this murder as they are likely to be those guys who have seen her on several occasions enter and leave that building all alone. In all, I hope justice is served and the evil men face the consequences of their actions. May they rot in jail! Rest in peace pretty one and be assured that your death shall be avenged by God and by man. The rapist murderers shall pay for their sins.
DeleteWas there CCTV in and around that church??
DeleteMaybe cult boys
DeleteJust negodu!! Nwofuu bu sor nmaπ₯π₯π₯,
ReplyDeleteWhy are humans evil towards their fellow human Bikonnu?? Raping her wasn't enough, they still went ahead to smash her head with a weapon! What did she ever do to them?? π₯π₯. To think that all this wicked/abominable act were all carried out in the church bikonuuu! May her young soul rest in peace, Amen.
But how did she get into the church without the keys??
The security guys need to be questioned. Is not possible she entered that church without anyone being around.
DeleteYou obvious didn't read the write up above carefully.She collected the key from those who keep it and when the security guy went to them for the key,they told him someone was already in the church.He went there,saw her lifeless body.The guy went back to inform the family in charge of the key what had happened.
DeleteThey say she comes there to read. The church security man gave her the keys. It’s really sad.
Delete@officer's wife, true! I didn't quite read it carefully.... Thanks for further explaining.
Delete@G Wagon, I get now Sunshineπ✌️.
Inside church? No escape from God's wrath in this particular heinous act.
ReplyDeleteNative doctor...
DeleteChurch is just a building, even disasters occur in a church, God will still punish them, but forget the venue, even the Pastors commit huge sin in that church
OMG! This is πππ may soul RIPππ as for the perpetrators,God will deal with them

DeleteAmen.
DeleteThis is really really sad! Dear God let the perpetrators be caught!!! Father disgrace them! Kill them and put them in hell fire!
ReplyDeleteAmen!
DeleteVery sad π
ReplyDeleteIndeed very sad, why will anyone rape inside the church or all places? No security men , No neighbors ?Every church should have security even if it's one and install CCTV cameras. GOD will give her family and friends the heart to bear the lost.
Delete*of
Deleteπππππ no safe place again even in the church and some fools are asking why she is reading in the church , what a painful death ,she suffered .I wish I never saw her painful pictures
ReplyDeleteππππππ Justice for uwa
How do guys enjoy raping ? Or it’s base on ritual or what?
ReplyDeleteVery sad....
ReplyDeleteRaped her and still smash her head... What sort of wickedness is this??
RIP to beautiful girl...
May her gentle soul RIP.
ReplyDeleteIt shall never be well with those rapist.
How could they do such brutal thing to this beautiful young lady, I saw the hospital pictures and the bloody extinguisher and I cried, how do u do this to someone's child, heaven and earth will judge the rapists, they will die miserable deaths... And to do this in the house of God?? Their cup don full, bastards!
ReplyDeleteRip beautiful.
My condolences to her loved ones.
The heart of man is wicked and evil, pls Lord help us. People are having a form of godliness but denying the power thereof, that is why you see many churches but yet wickedness multiplies everyday, which kind of Life is this?. The pastors too have based their preaching on money and success to the extent that they can't be differentiated with motivational speakers. Nobody teaches the consequences of sin; nobody teaches love, hope, righteousness and self control. Judgement is really supposed to start from the church. May the soul of the young lady rest in peace , may God comfort the family of the deceased and also may the perpetrators of this evil acts be punished severely.
DeleteAmen
Delete@iyke Like!π₯π₯
DeleteAmen
DeleteOh my God!ππππ
DeleteVery sad....
ReplyDeleteRaped her and still smash her head... What sort of wickedness is this??
RIP to beautiful girl...
So sad. Rip
ReplyDeleteThis broke my heart! May her soul rip.
ReplyDeleteChai, I feel so bad reading this. May her soul rest, Amen π
ReplyDeleteMay her soul rest in peace...and may the perpetrators of this evil not escape God's judgement.π’π’π’
ReplyDeleteThis is so sad to read πππ
ReplyDeleteFirst suspect is the security guy. I believe that they have CCTV in that church.
May God rest her soul and grant her family and friends the fortitude to bear their loss.
I don't think they have CCTVππππππ
DeleteThe security can only be a suspect if he delayed(took time before reporting back to those in custodian of the key).
DeleteI saw the pictures on Facebook, I doubt if that particular church has CCTV
Delete@officer's wife, the security is still a suspect. He can go to collect the key even if he has a hand in it to cover his crime. Was he not there when the girl got to the church or when the rapists got in? If only the girl could say if she saw the security when she got in. May her soul rest in peace and may those hoodlums roam in confusion until they are caught. I pray justice is served!
DeleteThis is very sad. Rest in peace pretty girl.
ReplyDeleteThe security man is a suspect... Poor girl, the Lord's house for that matter. Truly nowhere is safe againπ₯π₯
ReplyDeleteHe can only be a suspect if the time he went to ask for key and the time he returned back to the family in charge was longer
DeleteThe family who keeps the keys are the primary suspects. They knew she was in the church.
DeleteI read it this morning and I was so pained.
ReplyDeleteThose that did this will never know peace. Wickedness everywhere.
RIP πππ......IM SO ANGRY IN MY SPIRIT RIGHT NOW EHN....THIS US HOW PEOPLE CARRY ETERNAL CURSES ON THEIR HEAD. WHAT A WICKED WORLD WE LIVE IN.... THE KILLER SHALL KNOW NO REST BECAUSE OF THIS DASTARDLY ACT IN JESUS NAME
ReplyDeleteThis is heartbreaking RIP
ReplyDeleteThis is heart wrenching. May God give her family fortitude to bear the loss and may her soul rest in peace.
ReplyDeleteThis is so heartbreaking. May her soul rest in peace
ReplyDeleteThis is heart wrenching. I pray God give her family fortitude to bear the loss and may her soul rest in peace.
ReplyDeleteMay her soul rest in peace
ReplyDeleteIt's painful π₯π₯π₯
Saw it since morning trending on twitter and heart was shattered π
ReplyDeleteOur country needs help as anyone is not truly save no matter how careful you think you are, she was not in the streets or walking late or visited a man alone, neither was she putting on any skimpy or revealing cloth(because these are the foolish excuse rapists & enablers always come up withπ’)
She was inside a church, a church for that matter reading and minding her own business, yet those evil cowardly bastards had no respect or regard for God or his house and still committed such treacherous crime against man and Godπ’ππ’π’
I pray that her killers and rapist are caught or may God visit them in the most vengeful manner ever.
May her soul rest in perfect peaceππΎ
Saw the news this morning and Iv not been happy since.
ReplyDeleteCan’t help but question lots of things about humanity. I’m just tired.
Seems like she was setup or something. The rapists are probably church members.
ReplyDeleteThis young lady's death broke my heart this morning. May God console her loved ones, especially her parents. Her killers will die slow painful death. The heart of man is evil and desperately wicked π
ReplyDeleteThe type of wickedness in this world is so much. Everybody that works in that church including the pastor is a suspect. Am sure she took permission from someone or told someone she wanted to read in the church. Some churches are Witchcraft coven.
ReplyDeleteReally really sad. Those rapists are beasts!!!! I pray they all get exposed and thoroughly shamed! May her soul rest in peace.
ReplyDeleteReally really sad. Those rapists are beasts!!!! I pray they all get exposed and thoroughly shamed! May her soul rest in peace.
ReplyDeleteAll of you accusing the security guards should please STOP IT! That's why police lock up innocent people just because they discovered the victim or helped the victim. I'm sure you all read that the girl woke up in the hospital and said they were unknown men.
ReplyDeleteMay the rapists never go unpunished.
Thank you. You are the only person who seems to have read and understood the story.
DeleteMay God rest her soul
ReplyDeleteWhen I read of these stories, I can't help but wonder if the current problems some of us face in our lives is a result of curses laid on a father or a husband who may have being a rapist. Because all the rape cases that have been done in the past till now were perpetrated by men who eventually go on to be husbands and fathers.
ReplyDeleteI think single ladies should seriously pray that they do not eventually marry someone with such a past because the curses will never depart from them.
Gang raped and killed an innocent lady who was just reading her book in a place of worship. Hmm. Father, please don't let them go unpunished.
Uwaila may your killers know no peace ,may your soul hunt them wherever they go till they are caught and die a miserable death πππππππππππ. May God comfort your family.
ReplyDeleteThis is not good at all
ReplyDeleteTo keep the brain active nah.you know how it is,if you don't read,after staying this long at home,you may likely forget all you have been taught and you know our naija institutions nah,once school resumes,fiam! Exam.
DeleteHas school fully resume? What's she reading for?
ReplyDeleteIf the church isn't safe,then where is?
ReplyDeleteGod bless you Stella for not posting her gory naked picture on your blog, can't begin to imagine what her family members are going true....
ReplyDeleteYou have no idea what this means to me...
Chizzy J...
May the doer(s)of this act be caught soon.
ReplyDeleteRest in peace Uwa..
Cases like this make me want to question the supremacy of God.Then late Ravi Zachariah post on good and evil comes to my mind.
I saw the pictures on Facebook ππππππππππππππππππ, may her killers never know peace for the rest of their miserable lives.... You raped and still inflicted life threatening injuries on an innocent soul, God will punish them.
ReplyDeleteMay God console her family, friends and loved ones and may her soul rest in peace amen
Heart wrenching!rest easy beautiful lady.
ReplyDeleteMay your killers never know peace
ReplyDeleteThe story be as e get, so sad. May all those involved in this cruel act be caught and killed. It will never be well with them. RIP young lady
ReplyDeleteChai, even in church????
ReplyDeleteMay her killers know no peace, and to think this was done in a church?
ReplyDeleteLike how do people have the mind to not just rape but kill another human being, a life you can't give
Why is rape even a thing for some people when with lil money you can get a willing call girl to get down with you.
I pray they die the most painful death ever wicked miscreants.
This is so sad, may those behind your death never go unpunish, rest in peace Uwa.
ReplyDeletethey should check her body very well to know if any part has been excised for yahoo ritual
ReplyDeleteπΆπΆπΆπΆπΆmay her soul RIP π
ReplyDeleteThere shall be no peace for the wicked
I dont understand this story, is school and church not on lockdown? What is she reading for exactly and why was she reading in that church at that time? This is heartbreaking why rape and kill her? God will punish everyone of dem.
ReplyDeleteNo peace for the wicked..
ReplyDeleteMay God rest her soul.
This news just broke my heart!
ReplyDeleteMay God's Anger and judgement visit all those involved in this act.
May her soul rest in peace.
May God
Sad buy Nigerian ladies do not take personal security seriously. I was in a Polytechnic and saw ladies passing through isolated area by themselves at night. I even stopped one girl and asked her why? She thought it was normal. Use common sense. Even as a guy, I try not to go to isolated areas by myself in Nigeria. You can be robbed.
ReplyDeleteThe sad part about it is that she probably thought the church was the safest place for her to be. Let us learn from her unfortunate incident and don't put ourselves in lonely places at night. May her soul RIP and pray for strength for her family and loved ones to are the loss. I cannot even imagine or frightened and in shock her parents are.
