A 39-year-old businesswoman has been murdered by her lover, who also
carted away her money, ATM cards, jewellery and a Range Rover Sport.
She was found dead at her apartment on the Odusanya Oduguwa Crescent,
Green Estate, Amuwo Odofin Area of Lagos State on Saturday morning.
According to the police, Lizzy, an executive in a networking firm,
had four children from a previous marriage which had broken down and was
planning to travel to the United States on Thursday (today) when she
was strangled by the suspect.
“She was into networking and owned houses in different parts of
Lagos. She was an international businesswoman and travelled round the
world. She had said she would be traveling to the US this week and had
gone to the bank with her boyfriend to withdraw N4m. When they both got
to her house, the man tied her hands and strangled her. He took the
money and went away in the car.
“She was initially married and even had four children. We learnt that
her husband impregnated their maid and she said she could not live with
the shame. She separated from the man. Since then, she had had several
boyfriends who promised her marriage but only duped her. She even had
one of them arrested. This last one that killed her, they had been
dating for three months. The woman fell into this because she always
opened up to those close to her.” the police revealed.
Although the suspect is on the run, the Police Public Relations
officer, Lagos State Command, Ngozi Braide confirmed the incident saying
the police had begun investigations,
“Yes, the incident happened. She was
murdered in her house on Saturday morning and investigations have begun
to unravel the cause of her death. He ran to Ghana with the woman’s
Range Rover Sport and money. But he has no hiding place under the law.
He will be arrested. You can’t kill a human being without expecting
retribution.”
