One of the seven suspects in the death of Cynthia Osokogu, murdered in cold blood in her hotel room in Lagos, has brought a N50 million suit against the Nigeria Police for damages.

Gideon Okechukwu, who allegedly drove the killers to the hotel, also joined the Attorney-General of the Federation in the suit in which he said that the fee would cover “general and aggravated damages.”

Mr. Okechukwu, 39, also demanded a public apology to be published by the respondents in a “conspicuous portion” of a national newspaper.

On Monday, all the suspects in the murder case were brought to the Yaba Magistrate Court where the advice of the Directorate of Public Prosecution was to be read.

However, the court observing its annual leave meant they had to be returned to the Kirikiri Prisons until November 27, the date fixed for the court to sit.

The police had said in its investigations that Mr. Okechukwu, an unregistered cab driver, drove Okwumo Nwabufor, a prime suspect in the murder case, and Ms. Osokogu to Cosmilla Hotel in Festac where the latter was strangled to death.

The police also stated that Mr. Okechukwu usually drove Mr. Nwabufo during his numerous operations and also aids him in escaping from crime scenes.

In the suit, deposed at the Lagos High Court, Greg Anumenechi, counsel to the suspect, denied all the claims, adding that his client has been in police detention since August 20 without being charged to court. Mr. Anumenechi also stated that the forceful seizure of his client’s Mazda 626 car is unlawful and a violation of his right.

That driver might just be a victim of circumstance, since his job is to pick people up at the airport and drop them at their desired destination.

I know some people who use their car or father's car to earn some money in their spare time by going to the airport to pick travellers.

Hungry lawyer at work.

His lawyer could be pushing him to make some money.

He should just prove his innocence & shut his mouth, no body is happy to be put thru this gory matter again, not to mention seeking financial derivation, "blood money"! Stupid man.

Ah Callotti, I missed our last discussion on the dead driver of the governor's wife and the role of God human affairs and his existence.

Exactly! He may be innocent

The guy jes shot himself in the foot! Now, the police's got enough reasons to robe him in. They've gotta avoid this claim of incompetency! His foolish lawyer didn't teach him to be acquitted before slamming a law suit against your accusers

I thought the case had been buried.
Driver go sleep wit cyntia she go pay you the damages

the truth is that, nigerian police should be very sure of their investigation before making names of suspects public.. And if such disclosure of indentity is erronious, adequate compensation should be sought for..

Hypocritical Nigerians!
This could have been any other cab man we use every other day.

An average Nigerian has at least two private cabmen they holla at anytime they are unable to use their cars. They use these cabmen to pick their kids from school, market, office etc.
Most times these cab men don't even know their client's businesses on these trips.
If after a thorough investigation and the primary suspects exonerates him, then his only offence should be not being registered as a cab man.
