scary as this news is, I can confidently tell you that most girls in Nigeria are in no way better than this lady. They'll be quick to meet you up at any location without any previous acquaintance.

The unbelievable part is that they are willing to jump into car and travel to any city to meet a complete stranger. These girls don't even want to know whether you are married or not. Just recharge their BIS and send them 20k with a flight ticket, the deal is sealed.

similar incident took place around 2007 involving a popular Hausa movie actres "Maryam Iyana" that was invited to meet up with a guy in Lagos, that incident led to the guy making a pornographic movie with her which later went viral on social media.

Log onto Facebook and ask most of our university girls this " when are you coming to see me ?", the response will always be a positive one. I'm beginning to think most of these girls usually log out their senses before login into Facebook. RIP Cynthia.

This is just so sad!

The Nigerian Police force are certainly not the most reliable police force, but that doesn't mean that the story is false. It might be true, it might be false.

1) Human rights activists have always condemned the police for parading suspects in front of journalists. It's an infringement on their rights. They are presumed innocent until proven guilty, but parading suspects before the journalists exposes them to a media trial in which they are pronounced guilty before the court has convicted them. The present inspector general of police has banned the practice.


2) It is currently possible to trace mobile phones. All the gsm networks can do it (just get the cell tower that received the broadcast). Cars fitted with car trackers are often recovered this way and call log evidence was central to the justice salami case.

3) The hotel should inform the police before depositing the body in the mortuary (not sure if the story says the did that or not), however, because of the terrible nature of the NPF, citizens and organisations would do anything to avoid dealing with them (come today, come tomorrow), including paying a bribe.

berem This story reminded me of a past experience I had with a particular guy.I met him on fb too and the first thing he asked me was what I do for a living.after telling him,he told me he had a business to do.he needed 1million naira from me. I didn't even have that kind of money so I lied and promised to give him the money.and the next thing he told me was I should book for a hotel for us to meet and I shouldn't tell anyone about my whereabout.then I sensed danger! Since then till now I never called him again.I deleted his contact and blocked him as a fb friend.women out there shld be very careful especially the wealthy ones.these men are roaming everywhere looking for whom to rob and kill.RIP CYNTHIA. :

Why did you not send a confidential report to the police to follow up.For all you know,that guy and his gang may have succeeded in defrauding or even killing some other ladies partly because you failed to act

Unfortunately most Nigerians are afraid of the NPF (come today, come tomorrow. Bribery. Kidnapping. Accuser becomes suspect. Etc).

This is a true life story.
It actually happened to my colleague"s cousin. This was the first gist my colleague gave me ds morning wn i went to her unit to asked hw her holiday was.
She asked me if i read yesterday Punch and i was like no> She said her cousin was killed after a month dat they had bn looking 4her.
Vanguard ddnt get d story like she narrated. They didnt call her fone . It was d service provider that traced the last call on her line to festac. After her family wnet to MTN. On getting to festac, dey checked d police station where her death ahd bn reported by the hotel attendants. But becos there was no contact details to get in touch wit any member of the family, nobody culd do anything.
The first guy was caught in Aba in his father's house and he was d one dat fished out t he 2nd guy.
She was actually chained and her lips sealed with tape! saw her pix and it was sad that a beautiful lady like ds was wasted cos of money.
I asked her if it were not 4ritual she said all her parts were intact but her account had bn emptied. She was 24yrs and just completed her nysc.

Hmmmmm@ the bolded part!

Wch is most likely what happened in this index case. They dont arrange for guards in case things turns of ugly. Too bad,such a pretty lady.

Re: Cynthia Osokogu Was Killed By Her FaceBook Friends by tpia5: 1:14pm On Aug 22, 2012
More info is needed on the suspects.


Anyway, it seems the hotel assumed the dead lady was a p.rostitute, since there was no identifying info on the body.
However, if one of the killers indeed placed a phone call informing them of a dead body in one of the rooms, wouldnt they have checked the cctv at the time?

Its very possible to track mobile phones.


I think i mentioned this recently on a thread about people being told to call or not call some mysterious numbers.

BoboYekini: horrible. but something's still not right. if she trusted the suspects enough to fly all the from nassarawa to Lagos(I'm even assuming she had millions in cash on her), why would they have to kill her to get the money?. i mean, the hard part is getting her to show, right? string her along and she'll drop over n over,
and, a girl that's willing to go straight from the airport to a hotel room, you shouldn't have to drug her to get jiggy. and if they did, why then kill her?when you can be easily caught. the payoff just doesn't seem worth it. i know its very possible the story is 'as is'. there are people that wicked.
but I'd hate to cast aspersions on the character/judgment of the poor girl. something. is just off about the whole story. its too....generic. like, 'just give them a story- bare bones'.
BoboYekini i cant agree less with you..though am not exonerating the culprits i still wonder why this lady would accompany these guys to an hotel room for that matter if there was nothing else to it asides what we are told here...and to even look at it again,2 guys for that matter...undergraduates!!!am shell shocked.was she charmed nii or what exactly?i know alot of things would be shrouded but she has her blame(s).afterall she met them at the airport and followed them not as if she was carried or coerced which goes on to say she had been into 'shytes' like that in the past just didnt get lucky this time which is sad so to speak.RIP..condolences to her sibs n folks

Why do you think they had 6 victims making her the 7th? Simply because killing a robbery victim who was a friend on facebook will remove the unwanted scandal that would follow when she starts a campaign on the social network. And it appeared the formula had worked in 6 previous cases.
Re: Cynthia Osokogu Was Killed By Her FaceBook Friends by pauloman(m): 1:45pm On Aug 22, 2012
Ihedinobi:

...then they went on to answer her phone. Either they always got high on some brain-destroying substance after an operation or the whole story is questionable. I actually had the same questions as BoboYekini but he expressed them far better than I had any ability to.

The story is fishy. Period.

Very true...what further comfirms the incredulity of the story is the fact that for them to have confessed to have killed in this manner for 6 times shows they must be well experienced in the game. So how would such people pick a call of the made to the victims phone they are in possession of? Any logical and analytical minded person would see very clearly the dumbness of the story.

My take is actual thing that happened didnt go this way. How can a beautiful girl as this that owns her own business be so gullible enough to go on an invite to meet strangers she never met before on facebook? If she were a student or some lesser classed person it would sound real. Also a person of her class to me would not fall for a student that easily even if the invite was feigned as a business meeting.

The logic in the whole story are quite not matching or making sense to me. Although we are all aware of the sexual pervasiveness on facebook but my take is this story was made up in an attempt to cover the real truth and on the other hand to further discredit facebook in Nigeria.


May the soul of the dead rest in peace!

Sir, you've made some insightful analysis. But I want to assure you that they're Killers in this country that don't really require a motive to make a kill. The Thrill of a Kill is Enough for them. The fact that law enforcement agencies haven't labelled anyone a Serial killer doesn't mean they don't exist.
This is not the MO of serial killers. Serial killers don't rob. They ONLY kill. These ones appear to only kill to cover their tracks after a robbery.

dont8: Thats the practice, you don't reveal alleged suspects' name when they've not been proven guilty as charged.
We've seen a lot of suspect shown to the public at the end proven innocent.

I get pissed-off when crime reporters mention the station, names and ranks and of police officers who carry-out arrest of criminals; only for criminals and their sponsors to carry-out revenge attack on such policemen in future. If the story of an arrest can reported with the suspects names withheld, concealing the names of the security agents who carry-out the arrest won't taking anything from same report.
