"I
have done this say like, 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”.
