Late Uwadia and her mother have been attending the church for over 15 years and she was said to be a Chorister there.
Disappointed, he says he will be going back to his former religion.
The sister of the deceased who also spoke demanded justice for her late sister. She said bite marks were all over Uwadia’s body when they saw her.
”When we saw her, it was not good at all, bite marks all over her body, her hand, her mouth. When we saw her in that condition, we rushed her to one hospital, they couldn’t handle it. Then we took her to UBTH. That is where she gave up last night.” she said.
