It's quite pathetic a story that the social networks for the fact that they are contributing to making the world a small community of people who should share like minds have become places of unusual practices.
I am not against the fact that social networks can serve as avenues for making friends which would eventually lead to marriage, but on the other hand it is awkward to allow them define you relationship and how you relate with people.
We're warned about the kind of friends we make and the motive with which we delve into social networks in search of wives or husbands. Read the story below...
Social Networking Weird Story
Okadigbo,28 is in police net for killing her
married lover she met on social networking
site, Badoo..
She met the deceased who is from Ondo State
on the site in 2013 and they kicked off a
relationship without knowing he was a married
man and had hopes of getting married to him
till she found out that he was already taken
and in a fit of jealousy, organized his murder.
Her lover,Bankole Charle,an oil worker with
Halliburton Nigeria Limited, Bankole Charles,
must have thought he was playing with an
ordinary woman when he met Loretta
Odikagbo..Little did he know that the affair
would end his life,The Nation reports .
It all started when she found out that Charles
was married and when she confronted him, he
owned up to it but promised to buy her a car
as compensation but when he failed to fulfil
his promise, Okadigbo enlisted the help of one
Ime Francis Moses, and another man who is
still at large and stormed his Woji, Port
Harcourt, Rivers State residence, and ended his
life.
Odikagbo, an Ordinary National Diploma holder
in Marketing from the River State Polytechnic
(RIVPOLY), and Moses, a university drop out,
are now languishing in the cells of the State
Criminal Investigation Department (SCID), after
they were arrested following the murder of
Charles.
The SCID team traced Odikagbo to the
residence of her other boyfriend whom she was
putting up with at Rumukpokwu, Obio/Akpor
Local Government Area on December 10, last
year.
Odikagbo confessed to her crime:
"I was arrested over the death of my
boyfriend, late Charles Bankole. I conspired
with my friend and took my in-law to his
house to harass him so I could get some
money from him, which led to his death, but I
was not there when he died.
I was at the Automated Teller Machine (ATM).
There is a third person that can tell the story
of how he died but unfortunately, he has not
been arrested. So, he is not here now. This
story can't be complete if the third person is
not arrested.
I am 28 years. I met Bankole on the internet. I
initially did not know that Bankole was married;
overtime I discovered. He actually promised to
settle things with me. He talked about buying a
car. When I hinted this to my in-law (Ime), he
said he had a way to help me get what I
wanted from him and I conceded to the idea.
On the agreed day, I moved into Bankole's
house and waited for them there. He came
with another of his friend. I opened the door
for them. They came in.His junior started tying
Bankole up. Ime was holding a torch which
they came with because this happened in the
night and there was no electricity supply and it
was raining heavily.
At a point, I decided to go to the ATM with his
(Bankole's) card to withdraw some money from
his bank account. One of the two men decided
to go with me. So, my in-law (Ime) was left
behind with Bankole who was still alive when
we left.
He (Ime) later met me at the ATM point to get
some money from me. He informed me that
he called a taxi driver to carry some things
from Bankole's house. I told him that I was
going because it was already late at night.
I was arrested on December 10, brought here
(at the SCID), and showed picture of lifeless
body of Bankole. I don't know who killed him.
The relationship lasted for over a year. I am
not so certain because we related a long time
on the Internet before we met in real life."
On her reaction that the late man was
married, she said:
"I was not actually angry, but he did not just
tell me he was married. We never discussed
marriage.
At a point, we were serious with the
relationship but when I discovered his marital
status, I was disappointed and decided to pull
out to continue with my life but he insisted on
buying me a car instead to calm me down.
That was what happened.I feel so terrible and
primitive. I am guilty of the crime. Bankole was
my first Internet boyfriend; I am not used to
meeting people on the Internet orFacebook. I
blame my action on hanging out with wrong
friends."
But the Eket-born Ime gave a different account
on how Charles died, making it clear that it
was Loretta that actually killed him.Hear his
account:
"Loretta called and informed me that her
boyfriend owed her some money, which he
was supposed to use and settle her out of their
broken relationship but he was turning her up
and down.
I promised to help her get the money out from
the man. On the day agreed, she called me
and picked me up at my street junction, from
where we proceeded to pick another boy she
had earlier called for the job, but the boy came
and declined going with us.
On our way out from the boy's junction, we
met another boy who I know that loads taxi at
the junction there. I called him and she
explained to him what she wanted to do that
night; he agreed to go with us.
When we got to the man's house, she went in
while we stood under the staircase of the one-
storey building he shared with other occupants,
waiting for her instructions. I was holding a
torch light which she gave me money to buy
and a holding a car window winder, which
looked like a gun, while the boy was holding a
rope and cellotape she brought.After a while,
she came and opened the door for us. We got
in through the kitchen, where we stood before
she called us to come to the bedroom where
she was with the man.
When we stepped into the room, I pointed the
torch light on the man and told him that he
befriended our sister for such a period of time,
and pushed her out empty and without
shelter, no settlement.
The man pleaded that we should wait, that he
was going to settle her. At that point, she
started to slap the man all over his face and
used the tape to tape his mouth, after which
the other boy tied his legs and hands.
It was then she asked the man for his ATM
card and pin; she got them and went to the
ATM point with the boy, while I was left with
the man in case the pin failed. While they left
for the ATM, they carried the man's phone and
laptop.
After a while, she came back to me at the
man's house. I asked her to come let us go,
she said, 'no', that the man knows her very
well, that if we should leave him at this
junction, he will definitely come after her, and
that when he gets her, she will mention my
name. She asked if I will like to be arrested, I
said 'no'.
She now went to the man's kitchen and
brought polythene bag which she wore on the
man's head and sat on it. As the man was
struggling, I held his head until the man was
motionless.
She gave me N28, 000 only. I feel very guilty
for the action."
Many others are dying in silence!!!
And do you think it's possible to find a true and perfect match as God wants on social networks?
