Fast rising Nigerian singer, Ali Zainab Nielsen aka Alizee, has reportedly been shot dead alongside her 4-year-old daughter, Petra Nielsen.

She was murdered yesterday morning by her Italian husband, Peter Nielsen, at their home in Banana Island, Lagos.

The circumstances leading to her death still remain unknown but their bodies have been deposited at a mortuary by the police. The husband is currently being held at the Ikoyi police station.

The Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer, SP Chike Oti, who confirmed the arrest of the suspect for murder, said a crime scene investigative team had been deployed in the house.

He said, “The state Commissioner of Police, Edgal Imohimi, has ordered the arrest of the suspect and he is in police custody. It is pre-emptive now to ascertain the cause of the incident.
