9:32Now PlayingOver the past week, there have been a series of violent sexual attacks and reports of women being murdered across the country. Even minors are not spared.
The death of Uwaila Omozuwa, a 100 level microbiology student of the University of Benin and 18-year-old Barakat Bello, has led conversations on social media and streets in Nigeria.
Both students in their prime were allegedly raped and killed in the same communities they reside in.
These dastardly acts have made headlines causing widespread anger. The government has been asked to declare a state of emergency on sexual and gender-based violence.
The country's criminal justice system has left affected families more concerned.
