Getting justice for rape victims, in particular, is usually a herculean task due to the less than efficient investigation and judicial process.

The police in Edo State said “they are searching for people who might have witnessed the assault that led to the death of a female student of the University of Benin (UNIBEN), Edo State.”

Preliminary reports indicate that the victim, a 100-level student, was beaten inside a hall in the said parish, where she had gone to study.

The 23-year-old died on May 31, 18 days after, at the University of Benin Teaching Hospital.

“As at the day of the incident, she was in a coma, so the police could not obtain a statement from her on what happened,” the police spokesperson in Edo, Chidi Nwabuzor, said.

“It’s unfortunate that no person is coming out as an eyewitness (witness) to give (an) account of what happened,” he added
