The Arrest of Killaboi for the Murder of Augusta: An Account from Augustas Mother (Video)
Cordellia Okonye, the mother of Augusta Osedion, provided detailed information about the apprehension of her daughter’s killer.
Benjamin Best Nnanyereugo, also known as Killaboi, was arrested in Sierra Leone in the early hours of October 21.
After his arrest, Cordellia Okonye took to Instagram to describe the events leading to his capture.
She explained that after killing Augusta, Killaboi left her body to decompose, took her phone, and fled.
She revealed that he murdered Augusta on July 13 and had obtained a Sierra Leone passport by July 28, just two weeks later.
After the murder, Killaboi attempted to show remorse and expressed willingness to surrender to the police.
She stated that he later contacted her, claiming the killing was an act of self-defense. She encouraged him to turn himself in so the truth could be determined.
Subsequently, he blocked her and began spreading false allegations that she had been trafficking her daughter to men.
Providing details on Killaboi’s capture, she narrated that her family played a crucial role in tracking him down.
She distributed his passport photo to her contacts around the world, emphasizing his distinctive tattoo for identification.
Her cousin in Sierra Leone then reported a sighting of someone matching his description in the country.
On receiving this information, her son and another cousin traveled to Sierra Leone. However, the Nigerian police’s declaration of Killaboi as a wanted criminal drove him into hiding, making it challenging to locate him in Sierra Leone.
Her cousin met with the Commissioner of Police in Sierra Leone and presented Augusta’s body and Killaboi’s photo, prompting an effort to apprehend Killaboi.
Their investigation led them to a hotel where they received a tip that Killaboi had stayed. They encountered a Caucasian manager who confirmed Killaboi’s stay and provided the passport with a new identity, Kanu Princeton Samuel. However, his face revealed the true identity.
With the passport and a local contact number, the Sierra Leone police commenced their operation, resulting in Killaboi’s arrest at 2 am on October 21.
The grieving mother expressed relief at Killaboi’s capture, stating that he had boasted about never being arrested, yet he was finally placed in handcuffs today.
“One per cent of the pain is gone this morning that Benjamin is caught,” Cordellia said tearfully.
