"Let Him Join My Daughter Soon" – Grieving Mother of Model K!lled by Boyfriend Killaboi Speaks Out, 22 Months After the Incident

 

Cordelia Okonye, the heartbroken mother of late Miss Augusta Oseodion Onuwabhagbe, has taken to social media once again to mourn the untimely and brutal loss of her beloved daughter. It has now been twenty-two months since the promising young model was allegedly murdered in cold blood by her boyfriend, Benjamin Best Nnayereugo, popularly known on social media as Killaboi.

Her pain, like an open wound, remains fresh and unhealed.

A Promising Life Cut Short

Miss Augusta Oseodion was not just a beauty; she was brilliance personified. At just 21 years old, she had already made a name for herself as a model and was also a first-class student at Lead City University, Ibadan, Oyo State. She was someone with a bright future ahead of her — a future that was mercilessly snatched away on July 13, 2023.

According to reports, Augusta was allegedly murdered inside Killaboi’s residence located at No. 24a Abiola Apooyi Street, Oral Estate, Ajah, Lagos. The details surrounding her death shocked the nation. After committing the heinous act, Killaboi reportedly fled Nigeria, disappearing from the public eye and evading law enforcement for months.

A Chilling "Confession"

In a shocking twist that further deepened the trauma of the grieving family and the public, Benjamin Best (Killaboi) later appeared online, releasing a video where he seemingly confessed to the crime. In the video, he tried to explain himself, but to many Nigerians, it was a poor attempt to seek pity rather than justice. For months after the confession, despite public outcry, he remained on the run.

Arrested in Doha, Extradited to Face Justice

Justice, however, started to catch up with him. In April 2025, after nearly two years of hiding, Benjamin Best Nnayereugo was finally arrested in Doha, the capital of Qatar. Authorities worked closely to ensure his extradition back to Nigeria, where he is now expected to face the full weight of the law for the cruel crime he is accused of committing.

A Mother's Unending Grief

Now, nearly two years after losing her daughter, Cordelia Okonye still wakes up every day with a heavy heart. This morning, in a deeply emotional and painful social media post, she poured out her soul and mourned her child once again. Her words were raw, honest, and filled with sorrow and rage.

“Let him join my daughter soon.”

These words reflect a mother’s deep anguish — the kind that only someone who has lost a child in such a tragic and violent manner can truly understand. Cordelia didn’t stop there. She went ahead to place a curse on Killaboi and his generation, expressing how deeply the pain has affected her life and her faith in humanity.

This public expression of grief reminds us that behind the headlines and social media drama lies a real human tragedy. A young woman was killed. A mother lost her child. A family was shattered.

Justice Must Be Served

The case of Augusta Oseodion is not just another crime story — it is a tragic reflection of the dangers many young women face in relationships today. Nigerians have continued to demand that the justice system acts swiftly and decisively. If Benjamin is found guilty, many believe he should face the full consequences of his actions without mercy.

As the legal process unfolds, all eyes remain on the courts, hoping that the system will bring closure to Cordelia Okonye and everyone who loved Augusta.

May her soul continue to rest in peace.
