The two main culprits in the murder of Cynthia Osokgu were on Wednesday, August 22, 2012, paraded by the Lagos State Police in Ikeja and have confessed to their murderous act.
The duo, Echezona Nwabufor, 33 and Ezekiel Nnechukwu olisa Eloka admitted that they killed her for her money, which they thought, was in a large quantity.
The suspects testified thus, “we met her on the facebook on our Blackberry. We invited her to come toLagosto buy goods at cheap prices’.
“When she got to Lagos, we took her to a hotel in Festac. We thought she had a lot of money, but she said she didn’t have any money. We gave her Reflon tablet in her Ribena drink. After this, we slept with her for 12 hours in that hotel. We discovered that the tablet did not work quickly on her.
“We then attacked her, tied her up and used cello tape to cover her mouth. After that, we beat her to tell us where she kept the money.
“When we didn’t get any money from her, we tied her mouth and strangled her and then we abandoned her in the hotel and fled.”
Briefing journalists on how police officers were able to arrest the suspects, Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Umar Abubakar Manko, said detectives made use of the close circuit television, CCTV, at the hotel where the crime was committed to identify them.
The Area Commander, Area ‘E’ Police Command, ACP Okoro added that the suspects who are undergraduates of Nigerian universities were nabbed through the call logs of the telephone conversations they had with the late Cynthia who was a post graduate student of Nasarawa State University.
The suspects attested that Cynthia was not their only victim as police found many ATM cards, 23 SIM cards and different identity cards on them.
