The mother of the late Augusta Osedion, a model who died at the hands of her boyfriend, Nnanyereugo Benjamin Best, also known as Killaboi, discusses her efforts that led to his arrest in Sierra Leone.
Killaboi rose to prominence in July after openly confessing to the murder of his girlfriend, Augusta.
Augusta’s mother describes how Killaboi was apprehended in Sierra Leone.
Augusta’s mother, Cordelia Okonye, outlined the steps she took in assisting Killaboi’s capture at his secret location in Sierra Leone in an emotive post on Saturday.
She said that the alleged murderer of her daughter refused to surrender despite several pleadings. Frustrated by his lack of response, Okonye took the drastic step of sending a photo of his international passport to her relatives, which resulted in his detention.
How Killaboi was arrested in Sierra Leone
“He blocked me after alleging I pimped my daughter out to men, which I never did.
“So what I did, I sent his passport photographs to all my relatives, friends, and family across the globe and told them he has a tattoo that identifies him.
“So along the line, my cousin in Sierra Leone on the first hinted to me that ‘I saw somebody like him. Immediately, my son and a cousin went to Sierra Leone.
“A day before my son and cousin got to Sierra Leone, they declared Killaboi wanted. He was already hiding in the country.
“The commissioner of police was contacted. Killaboi killed my daughter and left her corpse to rot before taking her phone.
“Best killed my daughter on the 13th of July and got a Sierra Leonean passport on the 28th of July. He was eventually arrested yesterday (Thursday).”
“One per cent of the pain is gone this morning that Benjamin is caught.”
