Four suspects were this morning arraigned before Magistrate Aka Bashorun of Yaba Magistrate’s court in connection with the murder of the daughter of a general, Cynthia Osokogu.

They were slammed with  an eight-count charge of murder, armed robbery, administering the late Cynthia with obnoxious substance known as Rohyenol via Ribena fruit drink, among  others.
According to the charge, the suspects also had unlawful sexual intercourse with the victim without her consent.

Their plea was not taken. The court ordered that they should be remanded in prison custody and their file duplicated for DPP’s advice.

The matter was adjourned till 3 October, 2012.

Cynthia Osokogu, the only daughter of retired Major Frank Osokogu, was a post graduate student and boutique owner based in Nassarawa State.

She met the undergraduates, who later murdered her, through social networking site Facebook.
The principal suspects, Ezike Ilechukwu Olisaeloka, 23, and Okwumo Echezona Nwabufor, 33, confessed to the police that they lured her to Lagos from her base in Nassarawa State under the pretext that they are also into clothing business.

After receiving her at the Murtala Muhammed airport in Lagos, they took her to a hotel in Festac Town.
Eloka said they later put Rohyenol tablet in her Ribena drink  and slept with her for about 12 hours.
After discovering that  Cynthia did not have a lot of money on her as they earlier presumed, they raped her for 12 hours and later strangled her.

Following the arrest and subsequent parade of  Olisaeloka and his cousin, Nwabufor, over the murder of Cynthia, three more ladies came forward, saying they were once victims of the alleged murderers.
The three women reportedly went to Festac Police Command to write a statement about how they were drugged, raped and robbed by the suspects now facing trial.

Animals

Police y una allow dis bastards wear shoe?

what a shame

As long as the police are prosecuting the actual culprits, the law should take its course. Is a true reflection of country leadership. Country where police assist politicians settle with impunity political skulls, why won't the feeble minded emulate? Gen and family accept my condolence. Just praying and hoping that the sins of the father while in office have not been visited on the young lady. May her soul rest in peace. May God save us all.

Uselessness of a Puppet who calls himself a man.

You are an idiot. You hear about this crime because Lagos state gov is demonstrating transparency in leadership & Police can only do the right thing. Tens of worse crimes committed in ur Ijaw states and ur leader hide them so ur states will be seen as having repented from militancy. Are you not aware that murder/kidnapping is normal/common weekly happenings in Rivers, Bayelsa, Delta, Abia. Imo, Anambra, Enugu, Eboyi,C/Rivers and A/Ibom states. They are never mentioned via electronic/print media, why? What led to Udi community near-annihilation by Uncle Segay? Ijaw criminals or Ijaw murderer? Can u count nos of innocent souls Ijaws militants and Boko Haram sent to grave in the past 10years. You are just a useless ignoramus. Pls face what is facing you & leave tribalism/Igbos alone.

their parents should be sanctioned

I think for us to have a sane society, parents needed to be questioned as well too. This will stop the madness in the country. Also the said Hotel shld be sealed.

Animals in human skin

I believe they should still be tried . The trauma will kill them little by little before they are dispensed with. If in their young ages they could be that devilish as to take life because of money then it's an obvious sign that they cannot do any meaningful work to earn decent living. So let them quit this world for services no longer required. You need to be human to live among human beings. They are not. Even wild animals do not kill for sport. Man is the only animal to whom the death of his fellow human is fun in itself

God curse their souls

I remember one idiot like these guys robbed a close friend of mine under the pretext of a texi driver. God curse their souls.

Hope would be rapists and murderers are taking note that they too would be caught. It is a matter of time.

These people are not worthy to live by the crime they committed. Jesus Christ can still forgive them, but the law MUST have it course.

pitiful

Lat d law prevail on dem

I keep wondering why the

I keep wondering why the photographs of these murderers are being hidden from the public. In other sane climes where there is sancitity of life, these bastards would be in handcuffs, facing cameras. But what do you see? Their backs. Before you know it a different set of people will be prosecuted if care is not taken. All they need is to settle the police and another set of criminals long languishing in police cells will be paraded for us.

dont waste tym

Don't waste tym ds case.wastn tym amounted to heartless being

DEVIL INCRANATE

Why should the police allow these devils to appear IN court in white dresses which are mark of purity?They do not deserve this honour.

CAPITAL PUNISHMENT

These men deserve capital punishment,their antics cut short the promising young life and plunged a family into grief.

unbelievably

These boys are real devil. They deserve a capital punishment.

A person is presumed to be

A person is presumed to be innocent until proven guilty both under the constystitution. A d under the criminal justice sysM

They are animal in human flesh Devil

No need to waste time on them in the court, the Gocernment should forget about DPP or no DPP, they should be hang to death

Death By Hanging

These guys are evil beyond description. The only thing they deserve is death by hanging for killing the poor girl. They are guilty.

Morons

Pls ds case shuld b transferd to Jos.we wnt to c dm n wl kill n roast dir flesh for our dogs.crocodiles in human form.

The truth is that Igbos are

The truth is that Igbos are the best race in Nigeria. They are the best in things like this. These people should be disengaged from Nigeria so that we can have a crime free country!

they 're call bad bele people

they 're call bad bele people and all they deserve is dead by hanging.

shoot them

THESE MONSTERS SHOULD BE SHOT AT POINT BLANK AND NOT TAKEN TO COURT, WE HAVE POLITICIANS AND SUBSIDY THIEVES THAT NEED TO BE TAKEN TO COURT AND NOT ANIMALS THAT KILLED AN INNOCENT GIRL FOR MONEY. pleazzzze dont waste time and money, tie them to the stick and shoot them . A message needs to be sent to these fools, they cant go free and please dont fall for those crocodile tears shoot them all dead please, association to the crime makes them all accomplices, but guess what the luring from Nasarawa makes them all conspirators, so no he did i was just there , they all did it by form of conspiracy kill them all .

death sentence for them! the

death sentence for them! the sharia law should be used here. they should be stonned repeatedly until they are dead. and when they are dead, petrol be poured on them and their stinking bodies roasted to ashes.

They should be kill, no need

They should be kill, no need of wastin tym wit dem in d court. They are devil

Outrageous

My gross with the Nigerian Judiciary system is the way time is always being wasted. This is a clear case that should not take more than a week to dispense, these boys are obviously "GUILTY" and we should stop wasting precious time and resources prosecuting them. I am of the impression that they argument in court should just be on whether they should get life imprisonment or the death penalty to serve as a lesson to others.

Barbarians in our midst

Speechless! Evil does not come close to describing these characters. One can only imagine the darkness that lurks in the inner recess of their souls.

I pray that God will assuage the anguish & despair the late Cynthia's family and friends must be feeling right now.

Beasts of the beasts

Those boys should be thrown to lions in Neked Imo State Zoo for breakfast instead of wasting the time of the court.
