National Union of Ghana Students ( NUGS) is alarmed by the gang rape and the murder of a 23-year-old student Miss Vera Omozuwa in the church on Saturday 30/05/ 2020.
The victim was a level 100 Microbiology Student of the University of Benin (UNIBEN).
It goes without saying such vice is just one of the endemics currently confronting the continent in a contemporary age, and until such is tackled head on, we fear it shall thrive across cultural fibres.
Therefore, we do not only condemn the dastardly act, but also urge the entire continent to become concerned about the number of and abusive incidents against our women and girls throughout Africa.
Moreso, this is of grave heights especially when many of these cases are students.
In the months ahead, it will be equally substantial that authorities and civil society work together to address the underlying causes of violence against women and girls.
There is no higher call in African leadership than protecting our African race and upholding justice in our quest to protecting these rights.
