Why the protest? The crime scene and details shouldn't be tampered with. Let the Nigeria Police do the investigation and prosecute the culprits.

Can't thy just let people protest in peace? I don't understand the need to always deploy security forces when it's not a riot. I don't just get what this country really runs with, cos this ain't democratic in the least bit.

Stupid Nigeria just take a DNA test from the Rape and start DNA testing of all the guys risiding within 1km redius of the church including all male students and church people

Just for Uwa ✊ Justice for the Nation 🇳🇬✊

Let them not kill unarmed protesters

JusticeForUwa It is babaric,outrageous & dehumanizing,it must be discouraged.Ladies always follow your instinct,it speaks to your subsconsciousness. Follow me to get more... This part of the VC's statement was unnecessary as it 'seems' to pass a subtle message that victims of the crime of rape or any other crime, are to blame based on where they go or the company they keep. While this might not be the intention of the message, it's an interpretation.
