A female graduate of the University of Abuja (UNIABUJA), Otunla Oyeronke, has been murdered after she was reportedly raped by unknown persons.
Olajide Olatubosun, a member of the house of representatives who announced the sad development on Monday, in a Tweet on Monday, said, her body was found inside a gutter at Iddo Sarki in the federal capital territory over the weekend.
He described the death of Oyeronke who is from his constituency in Oyo state, as “tragic and heartbreaking”, and promised to ensure justice for the victim.
“I feel a deep sense of loss that a promising young lady will be so gruesomely murdered. I commiserate with her immediate family, her friends, colleagues, and all the people of my constituency,” he wrote.
“For this matter to be investigated and justice served, I’ll bring a motion at the next Plenary of the House.”
Nigeria has continued to witness incessant cases of sexual violence against women in recent months.
Three weeks ago, Iniubong Umoren, a female job seeker in Akwa Ibom was raped, murdered, and buried in a shallow grave.
A suspect in the murder case, Uduak Akpan later confessed to her killing after luring her with a fictitious job offer.
