Police spokesman said Uwa's father did not report that his daughter was raped. #Justiceforuwa

#Justiceforuwa has been trending since the early hours of today, this is a story of young girl aged 22 who was raped and killed in a Redeemed Christian Church of God branch in Edo state.

Uwa went to the church to read her book, she was a 100 level student of Micro biology in the University of Benin (UNIBEN). Uwa never made it back home as reports state that she was raped and killed with a fire extinguisher inside the church premises.

 However, a police spokesman said that her father did not report that uwa was raped, he said; 

''The information I received from the Divisional Police officer in charge of the Ikpoba Hill Division was that the father of the deceased made a complaint and the complaint he made was Assault Occassioning Harm and since he reported the matter, the father had not come back. They took the deceased to the hospital where she gave up the ghost. We have asked the DPO to reach out to the father of the girl who refused to come back to the station after reporting the case at the first instance. 

I confirm that the incident happened and that the girl was assaulted but that of rape, nobody can testify. There was no one there that can testify that the girl was raped. The girl was in a Coma so they couldn't record a statement from her until she gave up the ghost.

The DPO said the father of the girl only reported Assault Ocassioning Harm, that no rape was mentioned because he himself wasn't there and nobody is coming forward to say I witnessed what happened there.

So the father's report according to the law is just a hear say testimony. He wasn't there''. This was reported by LindaIkeji
