Nigerian student died after she was attacked in a church
On 30th of May Uwaila Vera Omozuwa died after she was assaulted in a church in Benin City, Nigeria. The background, just like the motive of the attack still remains unknown.
The 22-year-old student died on 30th of May, just days after the brutal assault inside the church of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, or RCCG, in Benin city, a spokesman told CNN.
According to a Nigerian police spokesman, authorities would “bring the perpetrators of the callous act to book in the shortest possible time.”
RCCG spokesman Olaitan Olubiyi said Omozuwa was a member of the choir who had studied privately at the church since lockdown measures due to the coronavirus pandemic were put in place in Nigeria in March.
“We are all devastated by her death. She decided to do some private studies during the lockdown because the church was peaceful. She’s been taking the key from the parish pastor and returning it after her studies,” the spokesman told CNN.
The General Overseer of RCCG condemned the attack and urged people to stay calm as they are looking into the matter and cooperating with the authorities to find out what exactly happened in this terrible incident.
