A model, yesterday, showed up at the
headquarters of Lagos State Police Command in Ikeja, claiming she was a victim
of the two undergraduates, who confessed to have killed Cynthia, the only
daughter of Gen. Frank Osokogu (rtd), in a hotel located in Lake View Estate in
Amuwo Odofin, Lagos.
The lady, whose identity could not be ascertained,
arrived the Police Command at noon, demanding to speak only with the
Commissioner of Police, Mr. Umar Manko.
She was directed to the CP’s waiting room before being
ushered to the CP’s office, where she described herself as a model.
She reportedly told the CP that she was at the Command
in respect of the suspects. She said the two undergraduates, Nwabufo Okwumo,
and his cousin, Odera Ezekiel, were the same persons that dispossessed her of
her belongings in a hotel in Festac.
However, a detailed account of her ordeal in the hands
of the suspects was not obtained, as the CP was said to have directed her to
the Area E Commander, Mr. Dan Okoro, who led the team of investigators that
uncovered the suspects’ activities.
When contacted, the Command’s boss confirmed the visit,
explaining that he directed her to the Commander so that she could physically
identify the suspects. He called on other females, who had fallen victims to
show up.
He said: “Other victims are advised to show up so that
if there is any need to expand our investigation, we will do so.”
On a visit to the hotel in Lake View Estate, where the
post-graduate student of Nassarawa State University met her sudden end, no one
could offer explanation.
Rather, a private security guard claimed that none of
the managers was around, and referred the reporter to the Police.
