MURDER CASE!!! I Used My Men As Ladder And Climbed Ceiling To Catch Killers Of Cynthia Osokogu – DCP Dan Okoro Reveals

The lead detective on case of businesswoman and mother of one, 24-year-old Cynthia Osokugo who was brutally murdered many years ago by some men she met on Facebook has narrated how he caught the killers.

It was jubilation for Deputy Commissioner of Police, Special Frauds Unit, Lagos, Dan Okoro following the death sentence was proclaimed on the men.

Revealing details of the investigation and how the killers were nailed, Okoro said the case was landmark but more importantly, it was a point of fulfilment in the officer’s 30-year career.

Okoro said he is fulfilled after Justice Olabisi Akinlade sentenced two killers of Cynthia -Okwumo Nwabufor and Olisaeloka Ezike – and acquitted two alleged accomplices – Orji Osita and Ezike Nonso.

While speaking with Punch on Thursday, beaming with pride about what an achievement the judgment was for the force, he reminisced on some of the details of the case, which he said he had hitherto never spoken about publicly.

He also spoke about the tremendous pressure he faced to drop the case before his team could crack one of the most shocking homicide cases handled by the police in the last 10 years.

Okoro 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.
