Mother of slain Nigerian influencer urges daughter’s spirit to seek justice
Cordelia Okonye, the mother of the Nigerian influencer who was tragically murdered by her boyfriend, Austa, has spoken out after her daughter was laid to rest.
Recalling the events, Austa’s boyfriend, Killaboi, publicly confessed to stabbing the young lady to death in a series of posts on his Instastories on Monday, July 17th, 2023.

He also expressed his intention to turn himself in to the police at that time but failed to do so.
In the midst of the incident, Killaboi disclosed that he murdered his girlfriend due to “pain, betrayal, cheating, and toxicity,” though he didn’t provide further details.
Austa, who was just 21 years old at the time of her untimely passing, was laid to rest on Saturday, September 9th, in the Yaba area of Lagos State.
Following her burial, her grieving mother, who also happens to be a pastor, took to her Instagram page to seemingly accuse Austa’s boyfriend of deliberately killing her, contradicting his claim that it was a mistake.
She stated that if it were truly a mistake, as he claimed, he wouldn’t still be on the run even after her daughter’s burial. Pastor Cordelia also urged her daughter not to rest until she avenges herself.
Her heartfelt words were as follows:
“Your killer said he murdered you exactly two months today. He said it was a mistake but left you to rotten and immediately I discovered your body, he ran into social media to write rubbish meaning he killed you on purpose. If it wasn’t on purpose and intentionally, he won’t still be running even after your burial. There is no peace for the wicked! Austa, kill your killer before you can rest. My mouth shakes while I’m talking, my hand shakes while I’m writing and my breath leaves me gradually while thinking of not getting to hold you again. My mum as I fondly called you, it’s extremely difficult and painful to carry on without you. Night is long and so is the day because of lack of your presence. Please pray for me if you love and care for me and if you can help me to get justice for my angel, please don’t hesitate. My pieces is hard to gather up together again”.
