The life of a young man, Charles Bankole Orisanya from
Akoko in Ondo State, who was working with Halliburton in
Rivers State ended sadly and brutally on September 19,
2014 when his 26-year-old girlfriend, Loretta Odikagbo,
snuffed life out of him. She was however apprehended
almost three months after, precisely December 9, 2014 after
a painstaking investigation by the Homicide Section of the
Rivers State Police Command.
Senior police officers who investigated the case said that the
method of killing was an uncommon one in Nigeria, as Miss
Odikagbo, popularly called Loretta, and two accomplices
allegedly tapered late Orisanya’s mouth, hands and legs
before covering his head with a polythene bag. Loretta was
said to have sat on the deceased’s head while one of the
accomplices, Ime Francis Moses Jnr., held his neck until he
became lifeless.
According to information gathered by Crime Reports, Loretta
Odikagbo, a student of Rivers State Polytechnic, Bori, met
Orisanya on Badoo network and they started dating online.
They connected physically and the relationship blossomed
over the next months. Along the line, Loretta fell out of love
with her lover. And the reason she gave was that her lover
boy was not fulfilling his promises. The deceased, who was
in his early 30s, was a civil engineer and a staff of
Halliburton Company at Trans-Amadi area of Port Harcourt,
it was learnt.
On September 19, 2014, the lover invited the lady to his
house but she did not come alone. Crime Reports learnt
that she hired two men to go with her and hid them under
the staircase of the lover’s residence.
In order not to arouse any suspicion, Loretta released
herself totally to her lover and engaged in a passionate love
making session with him. After the man climaxed, he rolled
off and got ready for sleep. The lady was said to have
quietly opened the door to let the two accomplices in.
Pointing a gun-like object at Bankole, Loretta and the boys
used a rope and masking tape to tie his hands and legs.
Satisfied that she had dealt with her lover, Loretta left for an
Automated Teller Machine to collect all the cash in
Bankole’s account. Of course, she had earlier collected the
secret pin from him under duress. Not done, the lady was
said to have returned and had gone to her lover’s kitchen to
pick a polythene bag to cover his head after taping his
mouth, and sat on his head. One of the accomplices,
Moses, held the man’s neck until he gave up the ghost.
The two men also took their victim’s shirts, shoes and other
personal items while Loretta went for his LG phone and
laptop.
When the case was reported at a police station, it was
learnt that there was no single clue that could be used to
trail the killers. But when the case was transferred to
Department of Criminal Investigation, Rivers State Police
Command, the crack detectives investigating the case were
able to resolve the mystery as they worked on an item
picked from the scene crime. This eventually led to
Loretta’s arrest and, subsequently, Moses’, while the third
suspect is still at large.
In an interview with Loretta, she claimed that she decided to
deal with late Orisanya because he was not fulfilling all his
promises to her. Her narration went thus: “I am from
Rumuomasi, Obio/Akpor Local Government area of Rivers
State. I was born on May 2, 1988. I hold a Diploma in Mass
Communication and was to resume for my HND in January
2015 but I was arrested in December 2014.
“I asked a friend, Moses to help harass a man who was my
boyfriend but is now deceased. I met Bankole (Orisanya)
through a social network called Badoo in January 2014 and
we got intimate online since he was at the rig offshore when
we met. He was there for two months and we became
internet lovers. We were chatting and exchanging pictures.
When he came back, he invited me over and we started
dating.
“The basis of it all was money. When I met him, it was all
promises upon promises. Along the line, the sex was going
on and the money was not coming. He would give me
N10,000, N15,000 but that was not what I expected from
him. Also when we first met, to me, he was a single man
but along the line, I discovered he was married.
“We talked about it but he didn’t want the affair to end. He
said that it would not be a problem and he could handle it.
But I only continued with him because I was waiting for the
promises to be fulfilled. I was not interested in marriage to
him. We had a bit of misunderstanding concerning money
and our relationship. I asked my friend who is also my in-
law to help me so that I could get the money forcefully from
Bankole.
“Along the line, I could not control my anger so I asked my
in-law to come help harass him to get what I could get from
him and move on with my life.
“On a particular night, he called me and I went to his place
with my in-law and one other guy. I felt it was an
opportunity to deal with him. We went to his residence and
I managed to sneak the two men into the compound. I hid
them under the stairs. I went in to Bankole and we made
love. After we were done, I left him in the bedroom and
went to the kitchen as if I wanted to drink water, and let the
guys in. I made it look like both of us were being robbed.
We met Bankole in the sitting room; probably trying to know
what kept me away for long.
“There was no light. I didn’t see any gun. My in-law was
holding a tape while the other guy held a torch and
something that looked like a gun. Bankole and I went on
our knees and the guys were threatening us, asking for
money. My lover told them that he had money in his
account so he gave them his ATM card pin number.
“My-in law tied his hands with the tape and second guy
acted like I had to be the one to follow him to the ATM. It
was raining heavily that night. It was almost midnight. We
left for the ATM and I withdrew a little over N120,000 and
paid the guy off. I gave him about N30,000 or thereabouts.
My in-law came to meet me at the ATM and I also gave him
almost N50,000.
“I took Bankole’s LG phone while his laptop was brought to
me the following day by my in-law. I can’t remember what
the other guy took from Bankole’s house. I didn’t know
anything about the polythene that was used to cover his
head.”
Loretta said she did not bother to go back to Orisanya’s
house so did not know that he died. “I didn’t have the
intention of dating him anymore; I just wanted to move on. I
only knew about Bankole’s death when I was arrested.”
Moses (30), who said he hails from Akwa Ibom State,
however gave a contrary narration to Loretta’s. According
to him, “Loretta called me and said that she and her
boyfriend were having some issues. She said he was owing
her some money and had refused to ‘settle’ her. She said
she would call me to go and harass him promising to notify
me whenever he called her. Before then she gave me some
money to buy a torchlight, which I did.
“On a day, she called me and came to meet me. We went
to Rumuomasi to pick another guy called Winkoro. He
refused being part of the plan and we left him. As we
walked, we saw a boy whom I knew but don’t know his
name. I introduced him to her and she explained her
intention to him and he joined us.
“She took us to the man’s house and kept us under the
staircase. Earlier, she gave the other guy a rope and
masking tape and I was with a torch light and an iron object
that looked like a gun. After a while, she called us in and we
got into the kitchen. Minutes later, according to her
instruction, we got into the room where she was with her
boyfriend.
“I pointed the torch at the man and said: “Na you dey owe
our sister and you no wan pay”. The lover boy pleaded that
he was going to pay; that we should calm down. The guy
with us tied the man’s legs with a rope and tapered his
hands. Loretta stood up and slapped the man repeatedly.
After that she asked the man of money but he said he had
no money at home. He pointed at his ATM cards and gave
Loretta the pin number.
“She and the other guy left for the ATM and I stayed with
our victim. I later called her to confirm if the pin was right
and she said yes. I asked if I should start coming but she
asked me to wait at the man’s house. Before she left, she
and the other guy packed some items like laptop, phone.
When she came back, she went to the man’s room.
“She came out, went to the kitchen, brought a polythene
bag and said that if I did not assist her in killing the man, if
the bubble burst, I would be the first person she would
mention. She covered the man’s head with the polythene
bag and sat on his head while I assisted her in holding the
man’s neck until he became motionless.
“Loretta gave me N28,000. I was arrested on December 10,
2014. She was the one who led the police to me. I took
three shirts and a sandal from the man’s house. Taking the
man’s life was not in the initial plan.”
On the relationship between them, Moses said that he and
Loretta used to drink alcohol together while she was also a
chain smoker. Loretta confirmed this and added that she
used to smoke marijuana.
Moses also revealed that a case akin to the current one
occurred three years ago. “Loretta had a man she was
going out with. They had some problems and because
Loretta had the man’s spare key, she gave it to me and
asked me to go and pack the man’s things and her own
too, so that it would look like robbery. The man got her
arrested and I was also picked. We returned the things to
the man,” Moses disclosed. Again, Loretta confirmed this
and said that the man was a staff of Shell.
When contacted, the Police Public Relations Officer in
Rivers State, DSP Ahmad Muhammad, confirmed the story,
saying that the case was still under investigation at the
Department of Criminal Investigation.
