Army General's Daughter Found In Lagos Mortuary; Suspected Killers Arrested

The only daughter of Major General Frank Osokogu (retd), Cynthia Osokogu, went to visit a friend in Abuja before leaving for Lagos to purchase goods for her boutique.

According to reliable sources, the 24-year-old lady was received at the Muritala Muhammed Airport, Lagos by unknown persons, who took her to a hotel in FESTAC area before she disappeared.


However, Olufamous.com gathered that the Lagos State Police Command has launched full investigation into the death of Cynthia, who was reported missing on July 22, 2012.

It was learnt that attempts by family members to ascertain her whereabouts were made more difficult because none of them lived in Lagos.

As weeks went by, concerned friends and relatives sent messages through BlackBerry device and social media about the missing girl but no information regarding her whereabouts was forthcoming.

At last, her corpse was found in a mortuary in Lagos. A source said, “There are indications Osukogwu, who is a postgraduate student of Nasarawa State University, was killed at the hotel before her corpse was transferred to the mortuary.

“Police investigations suggest that Osukogwu was robbed and killed in the hotel she lodged in by the same people she was supposed to do business with.”

Our correspondent learnt that policemen had interrogated some employees of the hotel and had arrested some suspects after the hotel management presented CCTV footage of the culprits while entering her room. The culprits were said to be the same people who actually paid for her flight ticket to Lagos.

Police sources said the culprits belong to a syndicate that specialised in luring young women to Lagos for “evil purpose”.

A reliable source at the station disclosed that six people had been arrested and were being interrogated by the police. “Six people were arrested on Sunday over the incident and investigations are ongoing,” a police source confirmed.

Young ladies, beware of strange business proposals!
