The Redeemed Christian Church of God, RCCG, is  enmeshed in crisis over the murder of a 100-level Microbiology Student of University of Benin, who was allegedly raped and killed on the Church premises.

The magazine gathered  that the UNIBEN student identified as Uwaila Vera Omozuwa was attacked molested, raped and killed by the hoodlums on Wednesday, May 27, a day dedicated to celebrate the Children’s day world-wide.

The murdered Omozuwa was said to have gone to read at the RCCG premises located at the Edo Province 10, Ikpoba Hill, Benin. While there, she was struck severally with a fire extinguisher by the unknown men, who then repeatedly raped her.

The magazine also gathered that Omozuwa gave up the ghost on Saturday midnight at the University of Benin Teaching Hospital (UBTH) where she was rushed to after the attack.

According to a family source  privy to what happened, “the Church’s security officer had gone to collect the keys to the Church from the keeper when he was told that there was someone in the Church already”.

“He got to the church only to find Uwaila in a pool of blood, and next to her was the fire extinguisher which was used to bash her head and face.

“He ran back to inform the key keeper and his wife, who ran to the Church to meet her lifeless.  But after a careful observation, they noticed she moved her hand and quickly rushed her to the hospital.

“It was at the hospital that Uwaila revealed she was reading all alone when some unknown men came into the Church, beat her up, raped and hit her head with a fire extinguisher.

“However, she later passed on after spending four days at the hospital”, the source concluded.
