“When the two suspects discovered that their victim had no money on him and in his account again, they forcefully asked him to call his sister in Spain to send €2000 to them before he will be allowed to go back to Spain.”

The sister of the victim however “reported to INTERPOL Spain who contacted the Nigeria INTERPOL who in turn contacted Edo State Command.”

According to the Police Commissioner, the two suspects have been arrested and would soon be prosecuted.

In another incident, two suspects, Iyen Osahon 19, and Esochuckwu Okorie, 22, have been nabbed by the police for raping a 16 year old girl in a hotel room after drugging her.

The victim whose name and identity was not revealed by the police for security reasons, however lives to tell the story.

The victim confessed to the police that she knew Osahon through Facebook, the same manner Cynthia Osokogu met her killers.

The suspects who were said have made confessional statements, would soon be charged to court.
