As Nigerian police investigate the death of influencer Augusta Osedion, known as Austa, an alleged confession made its way onto social media.
Austa’s former boyfriend, Benjamin Best, nicknamed Killaboi, seemingly admitted to “mistakenly” stabbing her during an argument. The supposed confession came in a series of written texts on his Instagram Story (@killaboigram).
At this time, we can’t confirm whether the 26-year-old socialite wrote the posts, but keep reading to see what the copy said. It’s also worth noting that Killaboi’s Instagram page was private as of July 18.
“I got into an argument with my girlfriend @austa_xxo which fight I mistakenly stabbed her and ran away out of fear and been suicidal since then,” one post read. “I want intend to end my life now cause I have lost the one [I] cherish so much. I wanted to do the right thing nad turn myself in…I will gladly die by paying with my life now.”
Details of Austa’s death are scarce and largely unconfirmed, including the date of her passing. However, Africa-based outlets like Ghana Web and Naija News claim the alleged murder took place sometime last week. Her body was reportedly discovered at Killaboi’s residence in Lagos–prompting a police investigation. At this time, there are no reports citing a warrant for Killaboi, charges, or any arrests.

“I should have left this toxic relationship but I didn’t. Oh lord forgive me for my sins, I wish I can go back in time and undo this but it has happened. I’m not a bad person, I’m not an evil person, I’m not a criminal. I didn’t commit murder, nothing was intended.

I will say nothing but the truth and come out clean and hope God grant me eternal peace and accept me,” one post read.
