Governor Godwin Obaseki of Edo state has ordered thorough investigation into the circumstances that led to the death of Miss Vera Uwaila Omozuwa, a 100-level student of the Department of Microbiology of University of Benin (UNIBEN), in Ikpoba Hill axis of Benin City.

Miss Omozuwa was alleged to have been raped after her head was smashed with a fire extinguisher at a Pentecostal church in Benin, which consequently led to her death.

Obaseki in a statement by his Special Adviser on Media and Communication Strategy, Mr. Crusoe Osagie, said he has mandated the state command of  Nigeria Police and other relevant security agencies to fish out the culprits, who perpetuated the dastardly act and bring them to justice.
