**Sierra Leone -** The international manhunt for Nnanyereugo Best, a businessman sought for the alleged murder of his girlfriend, Augusta Osedion, a student at Lead City University, has come to a dramatic close with his arrest in Sierra Leone. This high-profile case took a startling turn when it was revealed that Best had reportedly expended a staggering $25,000 in an attempt to procure a Sierra Leonean passport and alter his identity.
Following the unfortunate incident, in which Augusta Osedion tragically lost her life, Best resorted to an elaborate scheme to evade capture. He undertook the audacious step of changing his name to Kanu Princeton Samuel. Disturbingly, the victim’s family had posted his photograph on social media platforms in a bid to aid authorities in locating the fugitive.
It was an alert and vigilant individual in Sierra Leone who recognized Best, alias Kanu Princeton Samuel, from the widely circulated photo and promptly reported the sighting to the relevant authorities. This critical tip prompted further action.
Human rights lawyer Mr. Femi Falana was immediately contacted, and he, in turn, informed the Lagos police force. Best, who had been declared a wanted man, was eventually apprehended at a nightclub in the bustling city of Free Town. The arrest occurred under the cover of night, adding an air of suspense to the unfolding events.
Importantly, it should be clarified that the hefty sum of $25,000 expended by Best was not exclusively allocated to acquiring a Sierra Leonean passport. Instead, it appears to have been utilized as part of an extensive effort to create a new life for himself, accompanied by a complete change in identity.
This sensational development marks a significant milestone in the ongoing investigation, leaving the public and the victim’s family eagerly awaiting the impending legal proceedings to provide justice for Augusta Osedion.
