It's really unfortunate what the story has become of late Cythia Akuzogwu who had been missing for quiet some time. Her body was discovered at a mortuary in Lagos after the guys that lured her to a hotel in Festac in Lagos, drugged her, raped her for 12 hours and later strangled her when they couldn't get enough money from her were caught and made to confess.
such wickedness but it goes to show how wicked the human mind is.
If not for the closed circuit Tv that was mounted in the hotels's reception, one wouldn't have known the people involved in the crime.
Here is the full details as reported by PM News today in case you missed the story from the beginning.
This is the testimony of the suspects by the names, Echezona Nwabufor, 33, and Ezekiel Nnechuwu Olisa Eloka, 23 on how they drugged Miss Cynthia Akuzogwu Udoka, 25 years daughter of a retired General, and strangled her in order to steal her money.
“We met her on the 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.
“We then attacked her, tied her up and used cellotape 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.”
The suspects and the General’s daughter became friends on Facebook and were exchanging messages and phone calls.
She told them she was coming to Lagos. They met her at Murtala Muhammed Airport, Ikeja from where they ushered her into a hotel in Festac town, Lagos.
Briefing journalists on how policemen were able to 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.
After the suspected killers strangled Cynthia, her corpse was deposited at the mortuary of Isolo General Hospital in Lagos.
ACP Okoro stated that many ATM cards, about 23 SIM cards, different identity cards were recovered from the suspects.
Police sources said the two suspects will soon be arraigned in court to answer a charge of murder.
