A 22-year-old lady identified as Deborah, a 300 level student of the Benson Idahosa University, who was a virgin during her lifetime, was raped and killed by unidentified men on Friday. The incident was said to have occurred between 12 midnight and 1 a.m, after she left Sickle Cell Hospital at Golf Course Road, to see one of her friends at Upper Adesuwa.  Deborah who could not succeed to enter her friend’s apartment as no one opened the gate for her, was attacked immediately by hoodlums who raped and killed her.
However, an elder sister of the deceased, Jean, lamented, "How she walked to Upper Adesuwa that night I just don't know. There is this friend of hers that also visits us, she went to their house," Jean said.

"They said she got there and was knocking at the gate but nobody opened the gate. It was when she left the gate that the assailants struck, raped her and slashed her throat. In the morning, her friend started saying some body was knocking at the gate last night and people said they saw a corpse somewhere outside the street. So they ran to the place and found out it was my sister. I went to Ugbor Police Station and made a statement. But why I am worried is that I don't know why the hospital people will allow her to leave at about 11pm that day.


"The hospital people should produce the man who was in charge that night. The police said they want to conduct post mortem and that is where we are now. My sister was a 300-level accounting and education student at the Benson Idahosa University and a virgin for that matter. I am appealing to the police to find the killers. I don't know why they should allow her leave the hospital at that hour when they knew she was not sound".

The Edo State Police Commissioner, Mr Funso Adebanjo, said the command was investigating the matter.
