The police in Edo State say they have begun an investigation into the alleged murder of a graduate of the University of Benin, Glory Adekolure, by yet-to-be-identified persons.
Recall that Adekolure found dead close to her house after she went to UNIBEN for her final clearance on June 13, 2024.
The lady’s brother, who goes by the moniker @softbaba on X.com took to the platform to demand justice for Glory.
He claimed she was beaten, raped, and killed in the Iyowa community area of Benin, the Edo State capital and her remains were dropped close to their house.
In a series of posts on X.com on Monday, the user sought help from Nigerians, particularly the police to unravel the mystery surrounding her death.
His tweet: “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.
“Help us seek justice for my kid sister that just graduated from the University of Benin in April 2024 and still processing her projects and clearance and was raped to death on her way back from school on Thursday, June 13, 2024, at just 22 years.
“Her lifeless body was deposited at UBTH mortuary on 15/6/24 with the help of the Nigeria Police from Ekhiadolor Division. She was beaten, raped, and killed. Please Nigerians, come to my rescue. The help I need now is just for my innocent sister, my mum can’t hold herself. Please everyone should help me to retweet and tag those that can help me get justice.”
Responding to inquiries from the Punch in a telephone conversation, Nwabuzor noted that the police had commenced an investigation into the matter.
“We have commenced an investigation into the matter to unravel the circumstances behind her death. Because of the nature of the incident and so as not to jeopardise the ongoing investigation, I can’t disclose to you if any arrests have been made.
“We will continue to investigate and we will update members of the public of the development soonest.”
