After the horrific death of UNIBEN student, Uwa Vera Omozuwa, who was raped and murdered inside a church, the term, “Dragging God” began to trend on Twitter.

A number of Nigerian Twitter users took to the platform to blame God for not acting to save Uwa Vera Omozuwa when she was raped and brutally killed inside a church.

The death of Uwa, a 22-year-old UNIBEN student who went to a branch of RCCG in Benin to read, has angered people.

RCCG released a statement, saying that the church has been closed since the lockdown but Uwa usually collects the key to go into the church so that she can study in private. It was while studying on May 27 that she was attacked, raped, and killed.
