Sharing details about the incident, the lady’s brother who identified as @softbaba had taken to X.com to demand justice for her, stressing that she was returning home from school when the incident happened.

According to the PUNCH, the Edo State command’s Public Relations Officer, Chidi Nwabuzor, disclosed that investigations had commenced into the matter.

Nwabuzor said, “We have commenced an investigation into the matter to unravel the circumstances behind her death. Because of the nature of the incident and so as not to jeopardise the ongoing investigation, I can’t disclose to you if any arrests have been made.

“We will continue to investigate and we will update members of the public of the development soonest.”

When contacted for a reaction, the spokesperson for the University of Benin, Benedicta Ehanire, said she was not aware of the incident.
