Following the arrest and subsequent parade of two
undergraduates, who confessed to have killed Cynthia Udoka Osokogu in a
hotel located in Lake View Estate in Amuwo Odofin, Lagos, three more
ladies have come forward, saying they were once victims of the alleged
murderers.
24 year-old Cynthia Udoka Osokogu was
murdered in Lagos by Okwuoma Echezona Nwabufo (Age 33) and Ezekiel Odera
Olisa (Age 23), her Facebook friends. They lured her into Lagos under
the pretence of helping her buy cheap goods for her boutique and killed
her.
Thisday reports that two of the victims
gave their account at the Area E Command in FESTAC yesterday. They said
that they had also been lured, drugged and raped by the two men but were
lucky to escape with their lives.
The state Police Public Relations Officer, Ngozi Braide said that the parade helped the victims come out of their shells.
“Following the parade on Wednesday, two
girls came to the Area E Command to complain that they had fallen victim
to the suspects in the past.
“After identifying the duo, they made out
their statements and based on this investigation continues until all
aspects of this case has been explored.”
Similarly, a model showed up yesterday at
the headquarters of Lagos State Police Command in Ikeja, claiming she
was also a victim of the two undergraduates.
According to a report by Vanguard, the lady
arrived the Police Command at noon, demanding to speak only with the
Commissioner of Police, Mr. Umar Manko.
The lady who described herself as a model
reportedly told the CP the two undergraduates, Nwabufo Okwumo, and his
cousin, Odera Ezekiel, were the same persons that dispossessed her of her belongings in a hotel in Festac.
When contacted, the Command’s boss
confirmed the visit, explaining that he directed her to the Commander so
that she could physically identify the suspects. He called on other
females, who had fallen victims to show up.
“Other victims are advised to show up so that if there is any need to expand our investigation, we will do so.”
Their disclosure corroborates Nwabufo’s
confession that they had drugged and raped four other girls apart from
Cynthia whom they allegedly murdered afterwards.
