The burial of Cynthia Osokogu who was murdered in a hotel at Festac, Lagos on July 22 by alleged Facebook friends, was scheduled to be on Friday but was postponed. The postponement was necessitated by the advice of security agencies and medical experts in order not to leave anyone in doubt as to the culpability of those accused in her murder.

Her father, Maj.-Gen. Frank Osokogu (rtd.), said "the interment ceremony will continue as planned so that when the body is released to us, we won’t go over it again".

The burial was to hold at the residence of  the late Cynthia’s father on Owa-Ekei Road, Boji Boji Owa in Ika North-East Local Government Area of Delta State. The Governor of the state paid a condolence visit to the family on Friday.
