"Even though I have lost a daughter, her loss might not be in vain because there are lessons other people need to learn from this unfortunate incident. I believe it is stupid for somebody to travel to go and meet people that he or she had not known because you have been chatting with them on social media. I strongly believe that adventure is too risky. You should know people before you begin to visit them. Students especially have a big lesson to learn from this" - Major General Frank Osokogu

Mother of the Cynthia Osokogu, the 24 year old lady murdered in a Festac hotel by her Facebook/BB friends said the men had demanded N20million from her. Her words below:

On Sunday July 22nd, she called me to tell me that she had arrived Lagos to collect some goods that had just arrived from overseas and promised to come and see me immediately she arrived from Lagos. So when she did not call me on the day she was supposed to arrive, I called her number and it wasn't going. At the time I called my husband who lives in Abuja and my senior son to intimate them of what as happening. So I went to the police to complain. But when we called the number again, it was going and someone picked it up and said she would come back; that we couldn't speak with her because she was in the hospital.

They told me she was in Symbol hospital in Benin. It turned out to be a fake hospital. Then when we called again, they said they had kidnapped her and demanded for N20million. They sent me a fake account number. I told them that you people said we should send N20 million but the account number they sent to me was a fake one. Not until two weeks later they now told me that I should not bother to call again, that she had been killed. It was after this that I declared her missing.

Some people wld still prefer to learn by experience order than by example.

ebamma: if you see a woman who loves facebook,there are two things involved,its either she is looking for a husband or looking for a for a mugu,if she is looking for a husband she is safe,but if she is looking for a mugu there are two things involved,its either mugu go pay or mugu go kill am,if mugu pay she is safe,but if mugu kill am there are two things involved,its either she goes to heaven or goes to hell,if she goes to heaven she is safe,but if she goes to hell,there is only one thing involved,she is doomed

Cyndas: RIP cynthia

azimibraun: Has anyword concerning cynthia's deaht cum frm d Numero uno facbooker in Nigeria yet? Dr Facebook General Gej commander in chief of the facebook armed forces? I think its abt time a law is made and named after cynthia.. A law dt sees to ensure anyman who takes a lady to a hotel mst wait for a internal security personal of the hotel to ensure the lady is alive and well before the man steps out of the hotel alone.. Even if it means checking a thousand time a day. We can no longer hv hotels serve as slauhgter houses. Wetin Dame patience and other women leaders talk abt cynthia death if I may ask?
