Another female Nigerian undergraduate has been raped and killed.
She was a 300-level student of the University of Ilorin, Olajide Omowumi Blessing.
This came just about a week after a University of Abuja undergraduate, also a female, Blessing Otunla, died in a similar circumstance.
Also, Inih Umoren, a fresh graduate, had been similarly murdered in Akwa Ibom, by a young man who lured her with a non-existing job.
A 300 Level student of the University of Ilorin, Olajide Omowumi Blessing, was brutally raped and murdered by unknown persons at her sister’s residence in Tanke area of the Ilorin, the Kwara state capital.
Spokesperson of the State Police Command, Okasanmi Ajayi, who confirmed the incident on Thursday, said Omowumi was found naked with her two hands tied to the back and mouth gagged on Tuesday, June 1.
Ajayi said: “The deceased stayed with her elder sister. The elder sister came back from work at about 6:00 pm on Tuesday June 1, saying that she had tried severally to reach her on phone but couldn’t as the phone kept ringing. She came back from work to meet the door of her apartment locked and couldn’t gain entry despite repeated knocks on the door. She then called some neighbours who helped to break open the door.
“They all met the deceased lying dead on the floor when they entered with her two hands tied to the back, and her mouth gagged. She was met naked, bruises were noticed on her private part, her mouth was covered among others.
“Also, a note said to have been written on a piece of paper was placed on her chest containing a message, “Unilorin doesn’t forgive.” The people later informed the police at F’ Division Police Station, who discovered the dead body, snapped the picture, and took the corpse to the University of Ilorin Teaching Hospital (UITH) for autopsy.” he added.
