Sri Lankan Woman Murdered By Husband For Dating A Nigerian Billionaire In Victoria Island Lagos

Few weeks ago, a woman was set on fire at 1004 Estate in VI area of
Lagos by her jealous husband.

The Muslim woman identified as Maryam was murdered by her hubby out of
jealous and anger after she confessed to him.

According to the ELITES, the Sri Lankan doused his wife with a highly
combustible incendiary and set her aglow with a match. It was gathered
that the normally highly regarded and unobtrusive company Director,
who occupied an apartment on Block D5 of the highbrow 1004 Victoria
Island Estate, had heard stories of his wife, Maryam, having an affair
with a wealthy Nigerian businessman, who had been showering her with
expensive gifts.

Initially, the Sri Lankan was reported to have doubted the story, but
he later put his wife to task and she confessed to her affair with the
rich Nigerian. The husband was said to have taken his wife to the
Ikoyi Club on a date, and this exposure may have led to the crime. The
enraged husband, having tortured and obtained the confession from his
wife and ensuring he had made an audio-video recording of the
confession, committed the dastardly crime, realising full well that
the confession would mean a reprieve for him in Sri Lanka.

The couple lived on the third floor of the D5 Block. Ironically, this
is the same floor where popular Island Big Girl and Club owner, Suzie
Q was murdered by her lover in 2012.

Sources disclosed that when plumes from the smoke of the fire were
noticed from the couple's apartment, some neighbours had dashed out
from their apartments to find the woman ablaze. They were reported to
have made several spirited efforts in saving the woman's life.

They had called several ambulance services including Lagos State
Ambulance Service (LASEMBUS), stationed at The Palms in Oniru Estate.
But when it appeared that no response was forthcoming after 40
minutes, the neigbours decided to rush the woman to the hospital by
themselves. It was gathered that the four different hospitals that
they visited, refused to accept the woman for treatment. The neigbours
then proceeded to Lagos University Teaching Hospital (LUTH), where she
was eventually admitted. Sadly though, she died four days later.

The ELITES gathered that when the police visited the murder scene the
next day, so as to carry out a Crime Scene Investigation (CSI), the
Sri Lankan businessman had absconded. The police were reported to have
pinned a notice on the apartment door, requesting the suspect to
report at the station. However, when the police went back the next
day, they discovered the request note had been removed. As it is, no
one seems to know the whereabout of the suspect.

The tragic incident is said to have sent many tongues wagging at Ikoyi
Club. The elitist club is gathered to have been shamed by the scandal,
which tended to portray it as a melting pot for adulterous
relationships. Meanwhile, the multimillionaire lover boy, was said to
have taken off, to chill out, at his seaside Spanish Villa in Servile.

The popular businessman, who is in his late 60's, is said to be
unperturbed and unabashed by the dust raised by the scandal. Sources,
who are privy to the happenings in his life, disclosed that he had,
himself been dealt the same blow when he caught his wife having an
affair with a family friend in London.
