The police in Lagos say they have written the Danish embassy over the alleged murder of singer, Alizee, and her four-year-old daughter by her Danish husband, Peter Nielsen.
Lagos police spokesman, Chike Oti, confirmed the development in a statement on Friday.
Mr Oti said that Mr Nielsen is being detained at the State CID, Panti for further investigation.
He said the Commissioner of Police, Imohimi Edgal, had deployed some crack detectives to the scene, adding that no stone would be left unturned in the case.
“The suspect is not an Italian, but from Denmark. He has been arrested and transferred to the State CID, Panti, for thorough investigation by the Homicide Department.
“The command has also written the embassy on the suspect that the police are investigating one of their national,” he said
Nigerian singer, Zainab Ali-Nielsen, popularly known as Alizee, and her four-year-old daughter, Petra, were allegedly murdered by Nielsen at their home on Banana Island, Lagos on Thursday.
The 29-year-old musician was an indigene of Kogi State.
