Miss Cynthia Osokogu


By Chiemelie Ezeobi


The police Tuesday announced the arrest of two more suspects in connection with the murder of the 24-year-old Miss Cynthia Osokogu.

The two new suspects arrested are Nonso Ezeike, the younger brother of Olisaemeka, and one Gideon Okechukwu, a driver that worked for the two main suspects

THISDAY gathered that the police had traced the remaining suspects through the sale of the late Cynthia’s Blackberry Bold 5 (99100 Model) phone which she was dispossessed of by Nwabufo and Ezeike.

Confirming the arrest, Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Umar Manko, said detectives had tracked the movement of Nonso, Ezeike’s brother at Port Harcourt where he had fled to.

He said Nonso, a graduate of Mathematics and Computer Science at the Federal University of Science and Technology (FUTO), Owerri, was arrested because he had sold the phone to an end user.

Manko, who commended the efforts of the investigating team, said the police would continue to ensure that the public would be informed as the mysteries behind the murder is unravelled.

Narrating how the suspects were arrested, he said: “We were having problems on how to get the late Cynthia’s phone which was missing after we had recovered other items from the suspects.

“We then met the father of the late Cynthia who gave us her pin number. Armed with the pin, we started chatting with the person who was currently using the phone and he told us he bought it from someone.

“We told him that we need the phone and we pledged to pay him back the money but the buyer said the phone was giving him problems and he intends to send it back to the person who sold it to him.

“At that juncture, we traced the mast and discovered he was chatting from Port Harcourt but he had told us that he bought the phone from Lagos when we eventually got him online.”

He added, “Few days later, he called to say he had returned the phone to the actual person he bought it from. We urged him to ask the person to return the said phone at Area E Command, FESTAC Town.

“The person eventually came to our office with a lawyer to drop the phone and he was arrested immediately. Coincidentally, the man who came to drop the phone is a younger brother to the prime suspects who were already arraigned in court. He confessed to the police of having sold three phones given to him by his brothers at several occasions. He also confessed that he sold Cynthia’s Blackberry telephone for N68, 000.00.”

Sorry to say this but most of these young, educated and un-employed guys are too criminally inclined.

They fit more into the cliche that says an idle mind is a devil workshop

They roam the streets of Lagos looking for money the easy way....with criminal intent.

Na by force to get ds money why ds boys no dey get rich quick?all ds boys sef dem too mch.no conscience jst to dey kil babes cos of money

Hmmm!!

Hmm! Crime sure runs in this family. How sad

NIGERIAN POLICE ..NAWA O UNA GO SOON ARREST EVERYBODY THAT HAS EVER TALKED TO THE MAIN SUSPECTS..AH AH NA WETIN SEF. ALSO BOLD 5 NO GET 99100 NA 9900 AND 9930

Dem b mumu ao dem go say make i bring fone 2 police station and i will gladly take it there....abi no b naija police....all d same gud work done by d policemen who did all dis

@ilugunboy.
It's a pity there still remain people like you in this forum who's only interest borders on ethnicity. Are there no other ethnic groups comiting crime in Nigeria?.

For God sake?...is there any trophy for this case abi why elongating on the matter?...The fact is she is gone, that's her destiny, May God be with the rest of us

guys r just too despirate for money. This is just unfortunate.

Okay why do i think these police men are lying?

How can a criminal go to a police station to return a phone he had already sold? Didn't he know his brother who supposedly gave him the phone to sell is in the police net? Or didn't he know his brother stole the phone?

Abeg this police people should stay one place, we have heard what they are trying to pass across which is that they are competent, they should stop with the charade, we know better.

All these tales to save face because na big man pikin, mstcheew.

Am not really a fan of the police but I must commend the efforts of the nigeria police force for a job well done! If the nigeria police can fight crimes in such a manner, the crime rate in the country will drastically reduce.

Don't tell me you believe that c0ck and bull story.

Jst 4 d records our Nigerian police n its investigators shld learn how 2 keep sm vital infos on how dey apprehend der suspects cos of nxt time. When dey reveal everytin criminals will now kn how 2 mk demselves untraceable. I bliv d intelligent 1c here do undstnd wt I mean.

all the suspects seem to come from a particular region(name with-held).

This Criminal trend actually runs in the family, wonder how these guys were raised by their parents.

No mind them! very soon, they will start arresting people who sell ribena and any girl found with a vibr@tor all in the name of "tracing suspects". Incompetent foools

freecocoa: Don't tell me you believe that c0ck and bull story.

who knows? The police might be right with the investigation going on.let's just watch as more story unfolds.

i wish the Nigerian police would do the same to every criminal case.
very impressive investigation so far

hammedkola: For God sake?...is there any trophy for this case abi why elongating on the matter?...The fact is she is gone, that's her destiny, May God be with the rest of us

what do u understand by the word 'destiny'?
this young woman's destiny was cut short by those ruthless murderers, investigation need to get to the root, to apprehend every one connected with her murder.

Someone bought a phone from someone and he is been arrested and called a criminal. So its now a crime to buy second-hand phone. Lekwanu nsogbuooo.
Why are they looking for the phone? Are the guys not complying and calling names?

How i wish all related story & crime are handle the way this case is being handle.

they should also arrest all her facebook friends, the pilot and owner of the airline that flew her to lagos, all the people she called before she left, everybody that knows any body that was arrested including, everybody that lives around the location of the hotel, only a fool will believe nigerian oilce, someone is obviously trying to get a promotion.

[size=20pt]THE SWIFTNESS OF THE NIGERIAN POLICE ON THIS CASE IS REALLY SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT. WISH THEY ARE LIKE THIS IN ALL CASES[/size]

those guys did not kill the woman. i watched their interviews yesterday. they wanted to rob her and scare her a little with some few slaps but she got so terrified that her heart gave up on her. she literally got scared to death. this should be a case of involuntary manslaughter. at most 10 years in jail
