According to the statement released by the force's public relation officer, DCP Frank Mba and obtained by Legit.ng, the three brothers lured the victim, Janet Nnenna Ogbonnaya, through Facebook and killed her.
He gave their names as Johnson Emmanuel (38), Gideon Emmanuel (31) and Success Emmanuel (27).

The police PRO said the suspects, upon their arrest and interrogation, confessed to killing the victim.
He added that the three suspects also admitted to burying her remains in a septic tank and using her phone to call her family to demand N5 million ransom.
