Nnechukwu Olisa Eloka, 23, the two suspects
held in connection to the brutal murder of Miss
Cynthia Osokogu Udoka, 25, were paraded
today by the Lagos State Police Command,
Ikeja. The suspects who are students, narrated how they drugged and
strangled their
unsuspecting victm in a bid to steal her money. One of the suspects,
Eloka, said they killed
Cynthia because they thought she had a lot of
money in her possession. But after the
dastardly act, they did not find a reasonable
amount of money on her. According to the
suspects, "we met her on facebook on our Blackberry. We invited her to
come to Lagos to
buy goods at cheap prices. "When she got to Lagos, we took her to a hotel
in Festac. We thought she had a lot of money,
but she said she didn't have any money. We
gave her Reflon tablet in her Ribena drink.
After this, we slept with her for 12 hours in
that hotel. We discovered that the tablet did not work quickly on her.
Cynthia Osokogu "We then attacked her, tied her up and used
cello-tape to cover her mouth. After that, we
beat her to tell us where she kept the money.
When we didn't get any money from her, we
tied her mouth and strangled her and then we
abandoned her in the hotel and fled." Briefing journalists on how policemen were
able to trace and arrest the suspects, Lagos
State Commissioner of Police, Umar Abubakar
Manko, said detectives made use of the close
circuit television, CCTV, at the hotel where
the crime was committed to identify them. The Area Commander, Area 'E' Police
Command, ACP Okoro added that the suspects
who are undergraduates of Nigerian
universities were nabbed through the call logs
of the telephone conversations they had with
the late Cynthia who was a post graduate student of Nasarawa State
University. ACP Okoro further stated that many ATM
cards, about 23 SIM cards and different
identity cards were recovered from the
suspects. Police sources said the two suspects will soon be
charged to court on murder charges. What a wicked world we live in and how much
more heartless can man be? This is indeed a
very sad and unfortunate incidence that could
have happened to anyone; the case deserves an
accelerated trial so the soul of beautiful Miss
Cynthia can rest in perfect peace.
