Uwa was said to have been raped and killed by some men on May 27, 2020 in a church belonging to RCCG in Benin where she was reading.
The men reportedly made their way into the church auditorium where they struck her in the head with a fire extinguisher, raped her and left her for dead.
A security guard at the church according to reports found her in a pool of blood and informed his superiors at the church. She was rushed to the hospital where she died later.
The Redeemed Christian Church of God had condemned the act.
Pastor Enoch Adeboye on his verified Twitter page commiserated with the family of Uwa even as he called for calm.
He disclosed that the church has begun investigation into the case and would cooperate with the Nigeria Police to get justice for the victim.
His tweet read: “All I can do at this time is to pray for the family of Omozuwa and do everything possible working with relevant authorities to bring the perpetrators to book.
“I and members of my Family condemn this act strongly and urge everyone to stay calm as we are already looking into the matter and cooperating with the police to establish the facts of the shocking incident. #justiceforuwa,”
But Ezekwesile, who once tried to contest in the presidential race, this afternoon June 1 on her twitter handle called on the police to cooperate with the RCCG to get to the root of the murder.
She warned that the case should not be allowed to go the way of other murders in the country
She said it should be a thing of worry for the government at all levels that “our daughters and women in general increasingly feel unsafe in the country because of the culture of impunity that has normalised sexual violence. Change this now. Lead for conclusive action on all cases.”
