Missing Otukpo NSCDC officer found dead in shallow grave in Obi

Otukpo-born Nigerian Security and Civil Defense Corps, NSCDC, officer, Josephine Cynthia Inalegwu Onche has been found dead in a shallow grave in Obi local government area of Benue State.

Recall that IDOMA VOICE reported Miss Cynthia missing few days to her wedding in December 2019 after she was said to have gone to the market to buy stuff.

Approximately one year, five months later, the daughter of the former Mayor of Otukpo was found but allegedly killed and buried by her proposed husband for ritual purpose, a source disclosed.

“An Okada man who knew what happened to late Cynthia Onche went to her family members and gave them the news. He led them to arrest her proposed husband who is an Igbo man who led the police to Ogun State where they arrested the native doctor, a Yoruba man who performed the ritual at Obi local government before relocating to the South West State later.”

“Both the proposed husband and the native doctor have both confessed committing the crime and are presently in police custody in Otukpo.”

However, the family of the late security personnel have exhumed her remains and fixed Tuesday June 1st, 2021 for the official burial.
