Bola Ahmed Tinubu
Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, has joined other Nigerians to call for justice over the rape and murder of Vera Omozuwa, a 100-level microbiology student of the University of Benin (UNIBEN), Edo state and other victims of gender based violence in the country.
Tinubu, the national leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), in a series of tweets on Tuesday rising in solidarity with all women, decrying the unjust treatments that have been unleashed on women over the years.
He condemned the recent killings of young ladies across the country, saying there is nothing that can defend the wrongdoings.
“All of us are born of woman and nurtured of woman. Vera Uwaila Omozuwa is the most recent name on a list, far too long, of women who have lost their lives at the hands of these vile criminals. Today, I rise in solidarity with women in Nigeria to say #enoughisenough”, he said.
“For far too long women and young girls in our nation have suffered the pain, hurt and stigma of gender-based violence and abuse. Too many have been hurt, intimidated and bullied. Too many have died. Such violence is inexcusable. There is nothing that can defend this wrongdoing”.
“#JusticeforUwa #JusticeforJennifer #JusticeforTina #JUSTICE for all victims of gender-based violence.”
The rape and murder of Uwa comes weeks after Jennifer, an 18-year-old girl, was allegedly gang-raped by five boys who were said to be her friends in Kaduna state.
