FACEBOOK KILLERS: THE SUSPECTS WHO MURDERED CYNTHIA OSOKOGU SENTENCED TO DEATH !

Four years ago, Cynthia Osokogu, businesswoman and mother of one, was killed in case that became known as the trial of the “Facebook killers". Four years ago,That year, Dan Okoro, then Assistant Commissioner of Police in charge of Festac Area Command of the Nigeria Police,( now the Deputy Commissioner of Police, Special Frauds Unit, Lagos) took on the case, that took him undercover beyond the shores of Nigeria.

Coming after suspects who murdered Cynthia Osukogu; Okwumo Nwabufor and Olisaeloka Ezike – were sentenced to death, while two alleged accomplices – Orji Osita and Ezike Nonso, were acquitted by Justice Olabisi Akinlade, Dan Okoro, the Deputy Commissioner of Police, Special Frauds Unit, Lagos, spoke with Punch, beaming with pride as he reminisced on some of the details of the case, which he said he had hitherto never spoken about publicly.


According to Okoro, he said; “I faced a lot of pressure while investigating the case. The pressure came from different persons I would not like to mention but we were not deterred.
“We had to go through a lot of risks to ensure the investigation made a headway. I remember the day we moved into the house of the number one suspect (Nwabufor) at 3am. He lived on the top floor.
“We looked everywhere and there was no ladder. I had to use my men to form a ladder and climbed upstairs and burst into his room. When you burst into the room of a killer, you are not sure of how prepared he would be. But it was a risk we had to take. He might have been armed, and finished everybody as soon as we burst into his house.
“When he left his room and moved into the ceiling in an attempt to escape, we again took the risk of going after him in the ceiling to get him down.”

Okoro was reportedly offered N15m to sweep the case under the carpet by one of the felons while he was investigating the case.

At a point in the investigation, Okoro said he had to go undercover to Benin Republic where one of the men arrested in the case was studying.
“I went to American International University in Benin Republic because I was looking for a way to connect one of the killers. I got him and brought him back to Nigeria. That was what gave me a pointer to the main killer.”
Okoro said his investigation took him to the Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Anambra State, where one of the convicts was a 400-Level Accounting student at the time.

The police officer said he tricked one of the men tried on the case (Nonso, acquitted), and made him come from Port Harcourt to Lagos on his own volition, without knowing he had been speaking with a detective. Nonso was in possession of the victim’s phone at the time. He was joined in the case, for selling items taken from the victim.

He said; “It was all about playing with his psyche. I tricked him in such a way that he could not have imagined he was coming to meet a detective.
“I knew that justice must be done according to the law. Anybody who spills another’s blood must not go unpunished. Cynthia was just an innocent girl that was tricked to Lagos and her life was snuffled by men she did not recognise as blood suckers.”

Okoro, whose detective work on the case was celebrated within and outside the country, culminating in a national honour by then President Goodluck Jonathan, said the case is an evidence of the Nigeria Police’s sound work in investigations..

Saturday PUNCH learnt that Okoro, who has degrees in Forensic Science, Law, Public Administration, Business Administration and Criminal Justice Administration, was the chairman of the police investigation panel, which recovered N111.3m bribe money alleged to have been paid by the Rivers State Government to officials of the Independent National Electoral Commission for the rerun election last month.

POLICE RESCUES WOMAN WHO ATTEMPTED SUICIDE ON 3RD MAINLAND BRIDGE TODAY!

The Lagos State Police Command has rescued a woman, Taiwo Titilayo Momoh, who attempted to jump into the Lagoon from 3rd Mainland Bridge today.

This is coming few days after a medical doctor, Allwell Orji jumped into the Lagoon from Third Mainland Bridge.

Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Fatai Owoseni told newsmen at the Lagos Government Secretariat, Alausa, Lagos,  on Friday that Momoh was in a taxi heading towards Oworonshoki on Third Mainland Bridge when she told the taxi driver to stop on the bridge. According to Owoseni, the woman was about to jump into the water when a police patrol team on a routine patrol on the Third Mainland Bridge sighted her and rushed to save her before she jumped into the Lagoon.

“She attempted suicide by attempting to jump into the Lagoon around Oworonshoki inward Mainland on Third Mainland Bridge. Unfortunately for her, she was rescued. The woman was in a taxi and alighted on the bridge and wanted to commit suicide by jumping into the Lagoon.
The police patrol team sighted her and rushed to rescue her before she jumped into the Lagoon,” he said.


 The commissioner said from his interaction with the woman, she had depression as a result of unpaid loans, adding that “she is still insisting that she wants to end her life.”

Owoseni noted that committing suicide was an offence under the law but that the police would try to talk the woman out of committing suicide.

He said the woman would be taken through post-trauma programme to ensure that she had hope and not commit suicide, adding that the police would do a medical evaluation  on her to ascertain her condition.

Owoseni lamented the rate at which people commit suicide in the country, describing it as worrisome, adding that the police had begun patrol of bridges across the state to forestall other cases of suicide.

He added that it was now an offence for individuals to walk on bridges in the state and that no vehicle would be allowed to stop on any bridge in the state henceforth in order to prevent suicide incidences.

“Right now, the woman is still in trauma and she still insists that she wants to end her life,” he said.

POSSIBLE TERRORIST SUSPECT ARRESTED IN ANTWERPEN

A French national has been arrested in the norther Belgian city of Antwerp after he allegedly tried to drive a car through the town’s pedestrianised city centre at high speed.

The federal prosecutor’s office identified the driver as 39-year old Mohamed R, who lives in France. Antwerp’s police chief said the man was of North African origin. The federal prosecutor said various weapons were found in the car’s boot, including knives, a riot gun and a container with an unknown substance inside.

Antwerp authorities handed responsibility for the case to the federal government because of Wednesday’s attack in London, where a man driving a 4×4 killed three and injured more than 40 after driving through a crowd on Westminster bridge.

“On the basis of the initial information gathered, and taking into account what happened yesterday in London, it was decided to entrust the file to the federal prosecutor’s office,” the prosecutor said. Belgium’s federal government handles terrorism cases.

Antwerp’s mayor, Bart De Wever, took to Twitter to state his “gratitude on behalf of all Antwerp to the soldiers that have intervened, the police services and the rapid response team.”

Public broadcaster RTBF reported that the car tried to get into the pedestrian area, known as Le Meir, at around 11am local time this morning. Le Soir newspaper said that a chase ensued with police before the car was stopped by the military.

Belgian prime minister Charles Michael said on Twitter that the situation was being monitored closely. “We continue to be vigilant. Our security forces did an excellent job in Antwerp,” he wrote.
