The International Federation of Women Lawyers (FIDA) Nigeria, Edo State Branch has called on all Security Agencies in the State to thoroughly investigate the case of Miss Vera Uwaila Omozuwa, who died from complications of injuries inflicted on her after she was allegedly gang-raped by some hoodlums in a church.

FIDA Edo also decried all forms of Sexual Abuse and Violence against Women and Girls and states that they are serious and widespread problems that have lasting impacts on individuals, families, communities and burdens our society with major health and safety issues.

The body further called on the Government, who is saddled with the responsibility of providing security to her citizens, Security Agencies and Individuals to hold those who commit sexual violence accountable and face the law regardless of their standing in the community, their power, their fame, or their wealth.

FIDA reiterated her commitments to protecting, preserving, and promoting the rights of Women and Children, while also not relent until the case of Vera Uwaila Omonzuwa is brought to a logical conclusion and ensure that justice prevails.

The body commiserated with Omozuwa’s family, while also praying that God gives them the fortitude to bear this irreparable loss.
