On her return home on Thursday, June 13, 2024, the 22-year-old was attacked by unknown individuals who beat, raped, and killed her, abandoning her body near her family’s residence in Iyowa community, Benin, Edo State.
When found, she was bleeding from her private parts, with clear signs of having been severely beaten.
Her body has been placed in a morgue.
Her family is now seeking assistance to identify the perpetrators and hold them accountable for their heinous act.
Her brother posted on X: “Justice for my younger sister Adekolure Idowu Glory, who was raped and killed in Iyowa Community, Benin, Edo State, on her way back from UNIBEN. She went for her clearance and her body was left near our mother’s house.
“Please help us seek justice for my kid sister, who had just graduated from the University of Benin (UNIBEN) in April 2024 and was still working on her projects and clearance. She was raped to death on her way back from school on Thursday, June 13, 2024, at just 22 years old.
“Her lifeless body was deposited at UBTH mortuary on June 15, 2024, with the help of the Nigerian police from Ekiadolor division. She was beaten, raped, and killed. Please, Nigerians, come to my rescue. The help I need now is just for my innocent sister. My mum can’t hold herself together.”
