#JusticeForUwa: 22-Year-Old Girl Raped, Murdered In RCCG

A 22-year-old lady, identified as Uwa, has been allegedly raped and murdered inside a Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) in Benin, Edo State. 

This is coming a few days after a 16-year-old girl, Tina, was shot and killed in the Iyana-Oworo area of Lagos state by two policemen who have so far been arrested. 

According to findings by AllNews, Uwa was allegedly hit with a fire extinguisher on the head which knocked her unconscious. 

She was a 100 level student of Microbiology at the University of Benin. 

Nigerians on Twitter have called for an investigation into her death and the perpetrators are still unknown. 

Below are some of the reactions of Nigerians on Twitter:

Having a girl raped, and murdered. 2 vigorous crime done, yet done in a church. It makes me wonder if we are raising men with the any thorough right senses left. It makes me wonder the kinda heart our sons, brothers, our men can possess. #JusticeForUwa pic.twitter.com/W3vLzQnrvZ
