According to the charge, the suspects also had unlawful sexual intercourse with the victim without her consent.
Their plea was not taken.
The court ordered that they should be remanded in prison custody and their file duplicated for DPP’s advice.

Following the arrest and subsequent parade of Olisaeloka and his cousin, Nwabufor, over the murder of Cynthia, three more ladies came forward, saying they were once victims of the alleged murderers.
The three women reportedly went to Festac Police Command to write a statement about how they were drugged, raped and robbed by the suspects now facing trial.
