The police in Lagos state have launched a manhunt for a yet-to-be-identified boyfriend of a graduate of Lagos State University identified simply as Adija whose girlfriend was found de@d in his apartment located in the Meiran area of the state on February 26.

An Instagram user, @Eyeopener, who shared details of the incident in a post, said the family of the deceased had began a search for her after they couldn’t reach her via her phone. They decided to go to her boyfriend’s house as she had informed them that she was going to see him. The distraught family members found the door to the boyfriend’s house locked. After several knocks and attempts to get in, they decided to break the door and found their loved one lying d£ad in the apartment.

“The couple had been dating since her 100-level days, and their relationship had always been toxic. The victim, whose parents reside in Ketu, often spent weekdays at her boyfriend’s place, only going home on weekends.

 

“On Wednesday night, around 8:30 pm, she received a call from him and went to see him. However, by the next morning, her phone kept ringing with no response. Concerned about her whereabouts, her family, knowing she was likely at her boyfriend’s house, went to check on her.

 

Upon arrival, they found the door locked. When they finally managed to force it open, they were met with a tragic sight – her lifeless body on the bed, covered with a duvet.”

The spokesperson of the Lagos state police command, CSP Benjamin Hundeyin, who confirmed the incident, said the police has commenced a manhunt for the suspect and will definitely bring him to book.
