The parents of slain Cynthia Osokogu have described the dead of their
only daughter as devastating, illogical and highly incomprehensible

dastardly act should be brought to book so as to deter those who take
pleasure in killing innocent people at will.
Speaking at their ECWA Staff new GRA home at Farin-Gada area of Jos,
the parents in separate interview to newsmen further described the late
Masters Degree student as a very intelligent girl who was not playing
pranks but had a promising future, full of life.
According to the father, Major-General Frank Osokogu (rtd), the dead
of their daughter though painful and shocking has not been in vain as it
is a caution to youths who get to know friends on social media of
whatever name and venture to meet the unknown people.
Osokogu described the daughter’s action as an adventure which was a
bit too much.
However, the mother, Chief (Mrs.) Joyrita Osokogu who said she had
been of fasting since their daughter went missing disclosed that she had
some worry because the daughter was too fast in life and accomplished
so much in her young age that she had to caution her on the need to
settle down in marriage.
According to her, “My daughter had been very wonderful and
intelligent, she attended Command Secondary School, Jos where she won
many laurels and she graduated from Nassarawa State University with good
grades at the age of 21 and she read English Education.
“She was Miss NYSC Batch ‘B’ 2010; she was a queen as she was a
runner-up in Miss Nigeria 2010 which she participated. She was studying
Public Administration in her Masters programme and just finished her
exam before she met her untimely death”.
The late Cynthia was working with the just folded up MTN call centre
in Jos and was running her boutique, Dress Code in Keffi in Nassarawa
State.
She stated that Cynthia was not living a rough life and she was
urging her to think about getting married and she promised she will
introduce her fiancé to the parents very soon.
Both parents confirmed they did not know about their daughter’s death
on time as her killers took her phone and kept promising them that she
was in a hospital which they gave the name as Symbol hospital in Benin
but the hospital turned out to be a fake one.
Her killers eventually told the family of Cynthia’s death and the MTN
assisted the family in the tracking the area where the calls were made
from to Festac town in Lagos.
They said it was when friends whom she told of her trip to Lagos to
get her goods did not see her return on the appointed day that they got
worried and called the family.

Cynthia in her boutique described her late boss as very humane and
always treat her well.
