    As a father, i had felt so much pain by the death of Cynthia. My consolation however is that her death is not in vain as her blood will speak liberation for several women who have been victims of such assault. I believe the story of Cynthia has opened a new chapter for Nigerian women and the need to make policies that protects women. For Nigeria her death is a call for more vigilance, caution and return to traditional family values. If Cynthia’s killers were well brought up, they won’t do such evil. May her soul rest in peace! Only God can console Cynthia’s parents and siblings for this loss.
