The police in Lagos have arrested a man,
Akodogbo Doheto, in connection with the death
of a 57-year-old woman, who allegedly died in
his house after the two had a sexual affair.
Punch Metro learnt that the incident occurred
on Salu Street in the Badagry area of Lagos.
Our correspondent gathered from 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.
It was learnt that 60-year-old Doheto, who
hails from Badagry, had been dating Fiaret for
about two years before her sudden death.The
matter was reported at the Badagry Police
Division.
Our correspondent learnt that after Fiaret was
discovered dead in Doheto’s one-room
apartment on the morning of January 3, the
police arrested the suspect.
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 he was not responsible
for the woman’s death. Doheto explained that
his lover was hypertensive, which could have led
to her sudden death.
He said, “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 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.”
Our correspondent gathered from the police
that some of the victim’s relatives were,
however, alleging that Fiaret was killed after
the sex.
Punch Metro learnt that the woman’s corpse had
been deposited at a private mortuary in the
area, while an autopsy was also being awaited.
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.”
