    In a statement on Monday by the Police Public Relations Officer, Frank Mba,  shared through the police official Twitter handle, the IGP said the police would unravel the circumstances surrounding the brutal attack and unfortunate death of Omosuwa.

    Omozuwa was raped and murdered by some unknown persons when she went to read at the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Miracle Sanctuary Mega Parish, Edo Province 10, in Benin City on May 27.

    The IGP, while condemning the attack, commiserated with the family, friends and colleagues of the deceased.
