Please, I am urgently appealing to you for help concerning the death of my niece, Rebecca Uankhoba, a nursing student who died in Anyigba, Kogi State, on 6 June 2025.
According to the family's investigation and the police case, Rebecca became pregnant, and we allege that her lecturer, , was involved in an attempt to terminate the pregnancy through an unqualified practitioner. Tragically, Rebecca died. We were later informed that her body was taken and abandoned by the roadside.
The police investigated the matter. The officers who investigated the case were Officer Solomon and Inspector Amos. According to what was communicated to the family, the investigation produced admissions/confessions concerning what happened to Rebecca.
The matter went before High Court 6 in Lokoja. However, despite the seriousness of the allegations, suspects were released on bail, and one of the suspects has reportedly remained at large.
Recently, I personally mobilised the police to apprehend the suspect who was still available. I was subsequently contacted by the State Counsel and informed that the judge had directed that the suspect also be released on bail.
As a family, we are deeply concerned about the handling of this case and fear that there may have been interference or a compromise in the process. We are not asking you to prejudge anyone or replace the court. We are asking for an independent journalistic investigation into what happened to Rebecca and why the prosecution has not brought justice to her family.
Mr Rufai, please, we desperately need your help to bring this matter into the public eye and ensure that the relevant authorities properly investigate and prosecute the case.
I have documents and information concerning the police investigation and court proceedings that I can provide to you privately.
Please, sir, kindly give this matter your attention. Rebecca deserves justice.
Thank you.
Joseph Uankhoba
Family representative of Rebecca Uankhoba
