One person has been arrested by the Edo State Police Command in connection with the rape and murder of the 100-level Microbiology student of the University of Benin, Miss VERA UWAILA OMOZUWA.

This comes as President, BUHARI on his verified Twitter handle, urged the police to ensure that UWAILA’s killers were brought to justice.

Spokesman for the command, CHIDI NWABUZOR, who disclosed this, said the suspect was arrested following the screening of  fingerprints on the fire extinguisher allegedly used to smash the deceased’s head.

According to NWABUZOR, operatives of the command arrested the suspect after the Area Commander of the Ikpoba Hill Police Station mobilised his men to the scene.

Her killing sparked outrage and protests in Benin, Lagos and Abuja, with the hashtag, #JusticeForUwa, trending on the social media.
