Tuesday, May 27, 2025 - The Lagos State Police Command has arrested two principal suspects in connection with the brutal murd£r and burning of a young woman on May 24, 2025, in the Gangare area near the canal behind Mile 12 Market, Lagos.
The command’s Public Relations Officer (PPRO), CSP Benjamin
Hundeyin, disclosed this in a statement on Monday, May 26.
Hundeyin said the victim, from Nasarawa State, was attacked
and set ablaze in a premeditated act allegedly orchestrated by her estranged
boyfriend and accomplices.
The police disputed the widespread claims that the woman was
attacked for blasphemy.
Hundeyin said: "Facts from preliminary investigations
clearly revealed that she was from Nasarawa State and not a Yoruba woman.
"The protracted problem between her and her boyfriend,
now at large, who tried to forcefully rekindle their relationship, led to the
conspiracy.
"The boyfriend, along with other suspects, two of whom
are now in custody, planned and executed the attack."
According to him, investigation has been intensified to
apprehend the boyfriend and the other suspects still at large.
He said the suspects were currently in custody at the State
Criminal Investigation Department (SCID), where they were assisting police
detectives and investigators in efforts to apprehend others involved in the
murd£r.
