“Ifeanyichukwu met the victim on Feb. 28, 2019, through a hookup and she moved into his house in March. He has been into internet fraud for the past three years, where he gets the proceeds for renting the apartment.
They have since then, inhabited as lovers because her parents live apart,” the police spokesman said.

He said that the suspect (Ifeanyichukwu) became angry and used the petrol he kept for his generator to set her ablaze. A team of detectives visited the scene and the victim has been taken to General Hospital, Igando where she was admitted but died in the early hours of Sunday.
The Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Hakeem Odumosu, has directed the immediate transfer of the case to Criminal Investigation Department Yaba. The suspect confessed to the commission of the crime and will be charged to Court for murder,” the statement concluded.
