A businesswoman, identified as Lizzy,
has been found dead at her apartment
on the Odusanya Oduguwa Crescent,
Green Estate, Amuwo Odofin Area of
Lagos State.The incident happened on
Saturday morning.
Sources told us that the 39-year-old
indigene of Anambra State was
murdered in cold blood by her
boyfriend who also carted away her
money, ATM cards, jewellery and a
Range Rover Sport.
Our correspondent learnt from a police
source that Lizzy, an executive in a
networking firm, was planning to travel
to the United States on Thursday (today)
when she was strangled by the suspect.
The source said,
“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 travelling 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.”
When our correspondent visited the
victim’s residence on Tuesday, he saw
that the house was locked up.
A security man, who did not identify
himself, said the house was shut by the
police.
“The police have been here and they
locked up the house,” he said.It
was learnt from a reliable source that
the deceased had four children from a
previous marriage which had broken
down.
He said,
“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. The case is still with
the police.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.”
Our correspondent learnt from a police
source that the suspect, after the crime,
fled to a neighbouring country.
He said,
“The boy is on the run. 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.”

police had begun investigations.
She said,
“Yes, the incident happened. She
was murdered in her house on
