Singer Djinee has joined the voices in condemnation of the rape and killing of a student of the University of Benin, Uwaila Omozuwa.
Uwaila Omozuwa was found in a critical condition inside the church where she went to read at night.
Her head was bleeding after it was bashed with a fire extinguisher by unknown men who also raped her.
She later gave up the ghost after she was rushed to a hospital for attention.
Djinee who took to Twitter in reaction stated that parents are to blame for the way make children have turned out.
Djinee wrote: “Uwa’s story breaks me. We all have to admit that our parents have failed woefully in the raising of the male child. Concentrating too much on the conduct of the female child when it’s actually the males who have the higher propensity to do evil! #JusticeForUwa
“When rape happens especially when it is as vicious as this, I ask myself that how has parenting/upbringing played its part to encourage the act?
“We have to understand how a system (be it parenting, legal, cultural or societal) increases the TENDENCY of a crime happening to a particular gender, race, ethnicity or religious belief more than the other(s). Most times you’ll find your root cause there.
“I’m sorry. I have sisters and cousins and I fear for them daily. One of my sisters was the reason I moved to a secure gated community after an incident, costing me ×5 in expenses. Even at that, I still worry.
“Today it is Uwa. Y’day it was someone else. 2moro it might be som1 we know. A friend who was gangraped in the past is living with HIV today. There is no way Uwa’s sad incident won’t bring up the fact that our women are an endangered gender. You cant isolate crime from culture.
“The whistles, cat calls & groping in some cases. We saw this even as teenagers in secondary schools. Boys just being boys. Let’s be honest we weren’t told to rape. Majority of us weren’t told “DO NOT GROPE, MAKE CAT CALLS LET ALONE RAPE”.”
