‘I Rise In Solidarity With Women’ — Tinubu Demands Justice For Student Who Died After Rape

A national leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu, has added his voice to the call for justice for victims of rape and police brutality.

In a Twitter thread on Tuesday, Tinubu rose in solidarity with women, decrying gender-based violence.

He wrote: “All of us are born of woman and nurtured of woman. Vera Uwaila Omozuwa is the most recent name on a list, far too long, of women who have lost their lives at the hands of these vile criminals. Today, I rise in solidarity with women in Nigeria to say #enoughisenough.

“For far too long women and young girls in our nation have suffered the pain, hurt and stigma of gender-based violence and abuse. Too many have been hurt, intimidated and bullied. Too many have died. Such violence is inexcusable. There is nothing that can defend this wrongdoing.

“#JusticeforUwa #JusticeforJennifer #JusticeforTina #JUSTICE for all victims of gender-based violence.”

Uwa Omozuwa, a 22-year-old microbiology student of the University of Benin (UNIBEN), Edo State, was raped and injured on May 27 when she visited a church in Benin City to study. She died three days later in a hospital.

Jennifer, an 18-year-old girl, was allegedly gang-raped in Kaduna by five boys who were said to be her friends.

Tina Ezekwe, 16, was hit by a stray bullet after a police officer fired shots while trying to arrest a bus driver at Iyana Oworo area of Lagos.
