The Police in Edo have arrested one person suspected to have been part of the gang that raped and killed a 100-level Microbiology student of UNIBEN, Uwaila Vera Omozuwa.
Chairperson of Nigerians in Diaspora Commission, Abike Dabiri-Erewa, confirmed the development on her twitter handle @abikedabiri. She hinted the police carried out the arrest through the thumbprint of the suspect on the fire extinguisher with which Omozuwa was attacked.
Spokesman of Edo Police Command, Chidi Nwabuzor, confirmed the arrest too. He said the suspect was arrested after the fingerprint on the fire extinguisher she was attacked with was examined.
I am so happy finger prints forensic is working in Nigeria now.
May the soul of this gentle lady rest in peace. And please God, grant the family the heart to bear the loss. It’s not easy. Oooooo. Rest in peace.
