A female student of the University of Benin (UNIBEN) identified as Adekolore Idowu Glory has been reportedly raped to death.
Glory, 22, a recent graduate of the university, was said to have been beaten and raped to death at Iyowa Community, Benin City, on June 13.
In an X post, a user who identified as Glory’s brother said unknown men attacked her while she was on her way back home from school.
Glory, who graduated in April this year, was said to have been processing her clearance when she was killed.
Her body was reportedly left close to her house. The user also called on the police to unravel the mystery surrounding her death.
“Justice for my younger sister Adekolure Idowu Glory, who was raped and killed in lyowa Community, Benin Edo State.
On her way back from school (Uniben), she went for her clearance and her corpse dropped close to her mother’s house,” the post reads.
