The victim was a 100-level Microbiology student of the
institution before her travail.
The Vice-Chancellor of UNIBEN, Lilian Salami, in a statement
through the institution’s Public Relations Officer, Benedicta Ehanire,
described the news as shocking.
In the statement made available to journalists on Sunday in
Benin, the VC said the actions were condemnable and should not be condoned by
any society.
She said the current COVID-19 pandemic was already hard on
everyone and that compounding it with inflicting additional pain on any family
was a wicked act.
While commiserating with the bereaved family on the loss of
their daughter, Mrs Salami prayed God to grant her soul peaceful rest.
The vice-chancellor urged students of the institution and
indeed all young people to be wary of the company they kept and the places they
visited.
Meanwhile, a delegation had been sent by the university’s
management to commiserate with the bereaved family.
