Nigerians troop out demanding for justice following the death of Vera Uwaila Omozuwa, a 100-level Microbiology student of University of Benin, UNIBEN who was allegedly raped and murdered by some unknown men while reading in a Redeemed Christian Church of God, RCCG, worship centre in Benin City.
It was gathered that the protest started this morning in Benin, protesters in black gathered at the national museum, moved to Edo State CID and other parts of the state for the peaceful protest.
Similarly, the General Overseer of RCCG, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, who reacted to the death, promised to assist the Nigeria police to bring justice and arrest the perpetrators of the crime.
Last week, 18year old Jennifer was allegedly gang-raped to death by 5 boys in Narayi, Kaduna State.
Popular Nigerian rapper, Folarin Falana, yesterday called for a nationwide protest over the recent rape allegations and killing of innocent young girls in Nigeria.
His tweet read:
“Justice must be served for the innocent souls we keep on losing. #JusticeForTina #JusticeForUwa.”
“It is important that we as Nigerians are fearless and we are ready to challenge the government through peaceful protests.
“It’s not enough to sit in our houses and post on socials. Justice must be served.
Concerned Nigerians on the streets, social media have called on the government to bring the evil doers to justice whilst implementating strict laws to protect the girl child.
If you are a rapist and you see this, you should be ashamed of yourself and know that one day you will pay for your barbaric crimes. Rape apologists too and those that know a rapist and is protecting them. SHAME ON YOU. #saynotorape #JusticeforUwa #JusticeforTina #WeAreTired pic.twitter.com/f7GaVxd1Jb— ITS DONJAZZY AGAIN😉 (@DONJAZZY) June 1, 2020
They either abuse their power, or have the power to abuse. In or out of uniform, we live in constant fear of men. Tina Ezekwe. Vera Omozuwa. Rest In Peace my darlings. We will get justice.🌹💔 pic.twitter.com/e9c4ODcEri— Genevieve Nnaji MFR (@GenevieveNnaji1) May 31, 2020
It’s so exhausting to see injustice continue to thrive time after time. Every time we say NOT AGAIN, and then there is a new story. Enough is enough. It’s too disheartening. Justice must be served for the innocent souls we keep on losing. #JusticeForTina #JusticeForUwa— Bop Daddy (@falzthebahdguy) May 31, 2020

Stop raping women! Rape is a terrible thing. When you blame the victim, you give more power to the oppressor. The oppressor should be punished and used as an example for others. Women shouldn’t have to live in fear or be killed for being women. #WeAreTired #JusticeForUwa pic.twitter.com/EL4QReTpHu— Renè The Leader ❤️ (@Rene_noire) June 1, 2020
Guys, please join in on this online protest. It’s the least we can do from home. Take it to all your socials.
