Operatives of the Edo State Police Command have arrested suspected killers of the 100-level undergraduate of the University of Benin, Miss Vera Uwaila Omozuwa.
Uwaila, a microbiology student, was allegedly raped and smashed to death on Saturday at a Redeemed Christian Church of God in Benin City.
Her death has generated uproar on the social media and in Benin City as students of UNIBEN on Monday staged a protest demanding arrest and prosecution of her assailants.
Edo State Governor, Godwin Obaseki had directed the police to fish out the killer of the undergraduate student.
Uwa’s death came some days after a teenager was killed by a trigger-happy police officer in Lagos.
