Less than 72 hours of the rape and gruesome murder of Vera Uwaila Omozuwa, a student of University of Benin, Edo State, another young female student named Barakat Bello has suffered the same fate.
Barakat was raped and stabbed to death in Ibadan, Oyo State, by yet to be identified persons.
Barakat is only 19 and is a student of the Institute of Agriculture, Research and Training, Ibadan.
She was attacked and killed while in her parents’ house in the Akinyele area of Ibadan on Monday evening.
Kasimu Elepo, her father, said he was not at home when the incident occurred. The deceased’s sister was also not in the house at the time the evil people visited their home and wrecked such tragedy.
According to him, the victim’s sister found Barakat’s body at the back of the house in a pool of her blood when she returned from Koranic lessons.
“I was not at home when the incident happened. The younger sister was not at home too, she went for Quaranic lessons but when she returned home, she saw her at the back of the house with deep cuts all over her body. She had been raped and killed.
“Somebody called me on the phone that I should come home but he refused to tell me what happened. When I got home, I saw that my daughter had been raped and stabbed to death.”
Elepo, who could not contain his emotions, revealed that the police in the area had begun an investigation into the matter.
