discovery of the lifeless
body of a 17-year-old girl,
Peace Asukwo, dangling from

apartment in Shasha area of
Lagos.

Already, the dead girl’s
boyfriend, a 300 Level Law

Lagos, Akoka, in whose
apartment the lifeless body
was found, has been
arrested.
Controversy is however
trailing the teenager ’s death
as her 23-year-old
boyfriend, Fisayo Tifase, was
alleged to have a hand in her
death.

However, Police hinted
yesterday that it was too
early to form any opinion as

end determine whether the
case was that of homicide or
suicidal.
Residents of 10 Kalejaye
Street were thrown into
pandemonium last Friday,
following the starling
discovery, as some of them
have reportedly fled their
homes for fear of being
arrested in connection with
the incident.

Although there was no
suicide note found in the
room by Policemen, a version
of the report said deceased
could have committed suicide
because she was jilted by her
boyfriend.
