A view of the Yaba district in Lagos June 25, 2015. At first glance, Yaba is like many other parts of Nigeria's sprawling commercial capital: a cacophony of car horns and shouting street vendors, mingling with exhaust fumes and the occasional stench of sewage. But in between the run-down buildings in this seemingly inauspicious part of Lagos, a city of around 21 million, tech start-ups are taking root and creating a buzz that is drawing international venture capitalists and more established digital firms.

En talsmann for politiet i Lagos opplyser at 29 år gamle Zainab Nielsen, kjent som Alizee, og datteren ble funnet drept torsdag.

Talsmannen Chike Godwin Oti opplyser at Nielsens danske ektemann er pågrepet i forbindelse med drapene. Han er foreløpig ikke siktet i saken.

Alizee er populær blant nigeriansk ungdom og skulle ha opptrådt i byen Warri sør i landet 29. april. I fjor sikret hun seg en lukrativ kontrakt med Petra Entertainment i Japan.
