four times before now but
none of the girls died. This is
the first time someone died
in the process. Whenever
they take the drink, I will
sleep with them and they will just lose memory of all
that transpired," said Nwabufo Okwumo.
TON gathered that the killers also revealed that the
late Cynthia had a vibrator sex toy with her which
they also used on her. The details are sad but will
teach everyone a lesson.
Emotions ran high at the Lagos State Police
Command headquarters Ikeja on Wednesday,
following startling revelations by two university
students on how Cynthia Osokogu, the only daughter
of a retired General was strangled inside a hotel in
Festac area of the state.
While the police paraded the suspects, Nwabufo
Okwumo, 33, and Odera Ezekiel, 23, discovered to be
cousins, claimed their intention was never to kill the
25 year-old post graduate student of Nasarawa State
University but to collect her money and jewelries.
The "main" suspects, Nwabufo, a 300 level
Accounting student of the University of Lagos,
admitted to have been chatting with the deceased on
BlackBerry for sometime. In the process, she
revealed her true background including the fact that
she owned a boutique.
But unknown to her, Nwabufo who hails from Nnewi,
Anambra State had a sinister motive. Along the line,
the deceased, according to him, informed him that
she was coming to Lagos to buy wigs and
attachments for her saloon. The suspect then paid for
the air ticket.
How the deed was done
The deceased arrived Lagos on July 21, 2012, and she
was picked at the Murtala Mohammed Airport by
Nwabufo and driven straight to a hotel called
Casmilla on 6th Avenue, Festac town where
Nwabufor had earlier made reservation with a fake
name.
Inside the hotel, Nwabufo reportedly offered a bottle
of Moet to Cynthia which she reportedly declined on
the ground that she does not take alcohol. The
suspect thereafter, asked her to take a Ribena drink
from the fridge. But unknown to her, the three
packets of Ribena had been drugged. He confessed
that she took three; one in the afternoon, another in
the evening and the third, the next morning.
Next day, she reportedly became tipsy. Even at that
state, it was reliably gathered that Cynthia did not
allow Nwabufo to sleep with her the previous night.
It was learnt that in the morning, the second suspect,
Odera came in. At that point, Cynthia who apparently
had started feeling the effect of the drugs asked who
the visitor was. Rather than getting an answer, she
was reportedly pinned down by Nwabufo, with her
hands and legs tied. At that state, Nwabufo allegedly
raped her twice. His cousin, Odera reportedly took
over and used a sex vibrator on her.
What led to her being killed
In his confessional statement, Nwabufo said his
intention was never to kill her. He admitted however,
that Cynthia was not his first victim, disclosing that
all he did was to propose to them through blackberry
and later invite them to the hotel, where he drugged
and dispossessed them of cash and other valuables.
According to him: "It was a mistake, I never meant to
kill her. I invited her from Abuja as my friend on July
21. I was trying to dislodge her by tying her hands
and I hit her in the process. I tied her because I did
not want her to know I was escaping from the hotel.
We had a mutual agreement for her to come over. I
met her from BB (blackberry) group chat. She came
to buy some things for her boutique in Abuja. We had
a disagreement. I did not rape her. It was the devil's
handwork.
"I wanted to run because I knew I had committed a
serious offence against her. I thought she had money
on her that I can collect. So in the process, I tied her
with cellotape to make her not to shout. I was not the
only person, it was I and my cousin, Odera that did it.
We tied her together and beat her together.
"Yes, I invited her and in the process we felt like
robbing her of all she had. The condom the police
saw on me is what I used personally. I used it on her
based on the sex toy with her. She came with a
vibrator sex toy, so I inserted the condom on the sex
toy and later dropped it there. I did not make love to
her. If they test the condom forensically, it will prove
that I did not use it on her.
"I drugged her with RAFINOL through Ribena drink. I
bought three packets of Ribena and when she took it,
she became weak. It was my cousin that drugged the
drink, he used a syringe and administered ten tablets
of it inside the drink.
"Usually, I use hotels in Festac. I have used Opera
mini Hotel, Benny, Chelsea and Concilia. I feel bad
because I did not bargain for this – to kill her in the
first instance. It is just unfortunate and it was an
accident."
His partner in the crime, Odera Ezekiel, said: " I am
also an Accounting student of Nnamdi Azikiwe
University, Awka. The morning it happened, my
brother called me to come to the hotel to help him
bind the girl so that he can dispossess her of her
belongings.
"My mission at the hotel was to come and help him
bind the girl. In the process of trying to bind the girl,
she put up struggle and we assaulted her and in the
process, she passed out. I did not hit her with any
hard object and we didn't have any weapon with us.
My brother only told me he wanted to take her
money. I have not done it before. He asked me to buy
the drink for him".
