The police have arrested a 40-year-old man, Adetomiwa Adeyinka, at Ahmadiyya Ijaiye, Ojokoro area of Lagos, for allegedly strangling his girlfriend who visited him in his house and sleeping with her corpse.
Adeyinka, on September 12, went to the police, and lied that the lady, 36-year-old Chinonso Okomadu, who he referred to as his girlfriend, had visited him from Ikotun and took ill, and was rushed to a private hospital, where the doctor confirmed her dead.
But on interrogation, he confessed to have strangled the lady and slept with her.
