TOBI AWORINDE writes on the clamour for justice amid avalanche of sexual assault cases and gender-based violence“It’s getting out of hand! We are dealing with an epidemic within a pandemic. Why is there so much hatred for girls by young and old men?” the Managing Director, Mirabel Centre, Mrs Josephine Effah-Chukwuma, asked audibly, trying her best to contain her vexation.
According to the tweeter, the young woman was invited on Facebook by a male friend to his house in Narayi, Kaduna. There, she was reportedly assaulted by her host and four others, leading to the victim being hospitalised. Two of the suspects were later said to have confessed to drugging her with a local drink, ‘Tombo’.
A security guard at the church, who resumed for duty later in the day, reportedly found her in a pool of blood and informed his superiors at the church. Popular actress, Kate Henshaw, tweeted, “How easy it is to take a life you had no hand in creating? What heartlessness dwells in the hearts of these rapists and killers?”
On Instagram, actress, Rita Dominic, said, “There is nothing that these three girls have done to deserve the atrocities that have befallen them. What are we doing wrong that boys and men think that it is okay to continue violating girls and women in this manner?” “Is it in the home? Don’t they get sexually abused in the home? People are saying, ‘Why would she go to church to read? Which school is in session during this COVID-19 pandemic?’ May God forgive each and everyone of them and anyone who justifies Uwa’s rape and killing.
“We should support the effort of the police, because a little gap can be like a lead in a criminal case. Investigations can be complex, so while we allow the police to do their part, as citizens, we can also do our part.” Okie-Odumakin said, “The rape and killing of Uwaila Omozuwa is not only barbaric, but it is a major crime against humanity and every human being with blood in their veins must openly condemn it. It introduced another dimension into the level of audacity with which perpetrators of rape carry out their nefarious actions, not minding the consequences on the victims, their families and the society at large.
“When people want to attempt to report, they are also not sure whether the police or the justice system will be able to support them to the end.”
