The
police in Lagos have arrested a man, Akodogbo Doheto, 60, in connection with the death of a
57-year-old woman, who allegedly died in his house at Salu Street, Badagry, Lagos state, after the
two had a sexual affair.
According to
police sources that the victim, Bonu Fiaret, who was said to be divorced, was
working as a nurse in a government hospital in the area, was discovered dead in
Doheto’s one-room apartment on the morning of January 3, 2015.
The matter was reported at the Badagry Police
Division. In his statement to the police, Doheto explained that the woman died
in his apartment after they both had a sex on the fateful Friday evening.
He, however,
added that, “We were lovers. She came to my house on January 2 at about 8.30pm.
I have known her for about two years now. We attended a carnival in the area
that evening.
“When we came
back, we had just one round of sex, after which we both slept on the bed, and
there was no problem. The following morning, I tried waking her up, but there
was no response. I observed that her body was stiff. I raised the alarm.“That
was how we found out that she was dead.
“I am not
responsible for her death. She was hypertensive and it might be her condition
that caused her sudden death.
“I work as
an okada rider. I am
married and have one child, but my wife does not stay with me.”
The Lagos State
Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Kenneth Nwosu, confirmed the incident.
He added that the
case had been transferred to the State Criminal Investigations Department,
Yaba, for further investigation.
He said, “The
case is now with the SCID, where the police are conducting further
investigation.”
