A 22-year-old woman, Osaro Festus, was found buried in a shallow grave near her Facebook friend's home in Edo State, Nigeria. The police arrested a young man, Joshua, in connection with her disappearance and death.
According to police reports, Osaro met Joshua through social media and visited him at his residence on April 20, 2025. She had taken the precaution of sending a photo of Joshua to a friend in case something went wrong. After weeks of searching, the police traced Joshua to his home, where he initially claimed that Osaro had slipped and died during an argument. He later led authorities to the shallow grave where her body was found.
The Edo State Police Command has urged the public, especially young people, to take extreme caution when meeting strangers from social media platforms. The police spokesperson emphasized the importance of informing trusted individuals of one's whereabouts.
Joshua remains in custody and is expected to face charges related to homicide and obstruction of justice as investigations continue. The case highlights the need for caution and vigilance when interacting with strangers online.
