Social media becoming tool for robbery .

Facebook stalked approach by Nigerian criminal ended with a murder of a 24 -year-old young, beautiful model living there on July 21,2012. Cynthia Oskogu had been chatting with a man , Echezona Nwabufor, for long after he friended her on facebook disguising himself as a Lagos University student and wanted to help her meet his business associates to make her fashion boutique more profitable. He offered her a plane ticket from Abuja to Lagos and a hotel accommodation thinking that she would come with jewelries and cashes. She accepted his offer, travelled to Lagos, taken to the hotel far from town, and finally killed in brutal ways after sexually abused. The suspect and his collaborate caught by hotel CCTV and also their driver and "fence"-a man who usually sold robed goods are apprehended and will be tried in court on November 5,2012 just a month after she was laid to rest.R.I.P. This is ticking alarm to others who will be a victim of such tricky approach via social media. Attention for all of us.
