Nigerian singer, Djinee, has joined the league of celebrities reacting to the death of Uwavera Omozuwa, a 22-year-old student who was allegedly raped and murdered in a branch of Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) in Edo state.
AllNews reports that the family of the deceased said they received a call from a woman at the RCCG on Wednesday evening about 'Uwa' battling for her life.
Uwavera was taken to hospital after a security guard found her, her skirt torn and her shirt covered in blood, the deceased's sister, Judith Omozuwa told the BBC.
In a series of tweets, Djinee expressed concerns about how parents shift most attention on the female gender, without training the males “who have the higher propensity to do evil!”
The “Ego” crooner said often times when rape cases occur, he questions the upbringing of the males involved in the acts.
Djinee wrote: “Uwa’s story breaks me. We all have to admit that our parents have failed woefully in the raising of the male child. Concentrating too much on the conduct of the female child when it’s actually the males who have the higher propensity to do evil! #JusticeForUwa

“When rape happens especially when it is as vicious as this, I ask myself that how has parenting/upbringing played its part to encourage the act?
“We have to understand how a system (be it parenting, legal, cultural or societal) increases the TENDENCY of a crime happening to a particular gender, race, ethnicity or religious belief more than the other(s). Most times you’ll find your root cause there.

“I’m sorry. I have sisters and cousins and I fear for them daily. One of my sisters was the reason I moved to a secure gated community after an incident, costing me ×5 in expenses. Even at that, I still worry.

“Today it is Uwa. Y’day it was someone else. 2moro it might be som1 we know. A friend who was gangraped in the past is living with HIV today. There is no way Uwa’s sad incident won’t bring up the fact that our women are an endangered gender. You cant isolate crime from culture.
“The whistles, cat calls & groping in some cases. We saw this even as teenagers in secondary schools. Boys just being boys. Let’s be honest we weren’t told to rape. Majority of us weren’t told “DO NOT GROPE, MAKE CAT CALLS LET ALONE RAPE”.
