A Nigerian artiste, Zainab
Ali-Nielsen, popularly known as Alizee, and her four-year-old daughter, Petra,
have been reportedly murdered by her Italian husband, Mr. Peter Nielsen.
They were allegedly
murdered in the family’s residence at Ocean Parade, Banana Island in the early
hours of Thursday. What happened?
Although details of the
circumstances surrounding the incident were still sketchy, The Punch learnt
that Peter had been picked up by the police.
The corpses were said to
have been deposited in a mortuary for autopsy.
Report said the lady, a
native of Kogi State, had signed a two-year record deal with an Asian record
label, Petra Entertainment in 2017, which reportedly earned her a brand new
Ford explorer, a house on Banana Island and international distribution with affiliates
of her record company in Asia.
The Lagos State Police
Public Relations Officer, SP Chike Oti, who confirmed the arrest of the suspect
for murder, said a crime scene investigative team had been deployed in the
house.
He said, “The state
Commissioner of Police, Edgal Imohimi, has ordered the arrest of the suspect
and he is in police custody. It is pre-emptive now to ascertain the cause of
the incident. The CP has dispatched crime scene investigators to the place to
pick evidences for analysis which can be used for prosecution.
“The command has also
written the Embassy of the suspect that the police are investigating the case.”
