There are indications that the police in Lagos have refused to release the corpse of Cynthia Osokogu, the facebook girl murdered by suspected kidnappers in a hotel in Lagos, to her parents for burial.
The burial which was scheduled for today in Agbor, Delta State, south-south Nigeria, had to be delayed when the remains of the deceased did not arrive Agbor, her home town, as expected.
A decision was later made by the family to give the deceased a ceremonial burial.
The ceremonial burial was performed at the family residence in Boji-Boji Owa, Ika North Local Government Area of Delta State after a requiem mass.
P.M.NEWS gathered from retired Major General Frank Nwafor Osokogu, father of the deceased, that the police were yet to release the corpse for burial.
At the burial, mother of the deceased, Chief Mrs. Joy-Rita Nkem Osokogu, wore a sombre mood.
She was being consoled by women who came from far and near.
Friends of Cynthia with her picture on their black shirts wept uncontrollably at the ceremony.
Cynthia was born on 10 November, 1987 in Agbor town.
She started schooling at the Command Children School, Ilorin and moved to the Command Secondary School, Jos from 1997 to 2004.
She secured admission into the Nasarawa State University, Keffi between 2005 and 2009 and went for her National Youth Service Corps. She finished in 2010.
