The middle-age man (names withheld) was
arrested by detectives attached to Area ‘E’ Command Festac Town, Lagos,
after the deceased’s BB pin number was retrieved from her father.
This is also coming on the heels of the
discovery of a bizarre video recording of how Cynthia was allegedly
raped by her suspected killers. The video was seen in the laptop of the
suspects.
In the video, Cynthia’s face and
brutalised body was clearly shown being raped, while the faces of the
rapists were blurred. Apart from being tied and forcefully raped, the
rapists also bit her deeply and several times in her breasts, buttocks
and back .
Vanguard gathered that although Cynthia’s
BB has had all information pertaining to ownership of the handset
flashed-off in an attempt to make pass for a brand new phone, detectives
led by the Area Commander, ACP Daniel Okoro, were able to use the pin
number to get the number of the SIM Card of the current holder.
According to sources, one of the detectives
then put a call to the Port Harcourt-based business man to say that the
BB in his possession was a stolen one.
Through the information on his registered
SIM Card and the receiving mast, detectives moved to Port Harcourt,
where his residence was located. But they did not meet him at home.
It was said that the phone buyer openly
admitted that he bought it through a friend in Lagos, adding that it was
sent to him through courier services.
The source said: “When the detectives were
able to get the pin number from Cynthia’s father, they started work on
the theory that all the information contained in her handset may have
been deleted.
“But with their knowledge of BB, they know
it can never have two pin numbers. So they started working on that
theory, and it bore fruits.”
