Exactly one month after Miss
Cynthia Udoka Osukogu was
killed in a hotel room in Festac,
Lagos, the police on Wednesday
paraded two undergraduates who
confessed to killing her.
The suspects, one Okwuoma
Echezona Nwabufo, 33, and his
maternal cousin Odera Ezekiel
Ilechukwu, 23 were presented to
journalists at the Command
Headquarters, Ikeja.
While Okwuoma claims he is a
300 level Accounting student at
the University of Lagos, Ezekiel
also studies Accountancy at the
Anambra State University.
However, journalists were not allowed to take pictures of the suspects' faces.
Okwuoma, who said Cynthia was his friend, admitted that they drugged the
deceased by injecting 10 Refnol tablets into three packets of Ribena drink they
offered her.
The suspect claimed that he invited the deceased from Abuja to Lagos.
According to him, their mission was to dislodge her of her possessions, while the
drug was to make her weak and loss memory of everything that transpired between
them.
"Cynthia was my friend, we met through blackberry group chat and we had mutual
understanding before she came to Lagos on Sunday, July 21.
“The deceased was coming to buy stocks for her boutique in Abuja, so I thought
that maybe she would have enough money with her and we planned to collect her
belongings," Okwuoma said.
The suspect said the deceased was killed at Concilia hotel, not too far away from
his Sixth Avenue, Festac, residence.
Narrating how they killed Major-Gen. Frank Osukogu’s only daughter, the suspect
said they tied her with celotape and a chain, adding that when she struggled with
them, he held her excessively to ensure she did not shout.
"I invited her and in the process, we had disagreement so, I felt like robbing her of
all she has, “he policemen.
When asked if he raped Cynthia and why there was condom in the hotel room, the
suspect said he did not rape her, claiming the condom was used for something else.
"I used it on her based on the vibrator she had. She came with a vibrator and so I
inserted the condom on it and later dropped it there. I did not sleep with her, if the
police carryout a forensic test on it, they will see that I didn't use it on her," he said.
Okwuoma confessed that the deceased was the fifth person he has drugged even as
he stated that other victims did not die.
"I have done it four times before her but none of the girls died. I sleep with them
and after they take the drink, they will loss memory of everything that happened to
them.
"I am not happy about what happened because I didn't bargain to kill her. It is
unfortunate and the work of the devil," Okwuoma said.
