Budding Nigerian female artiste, Alizee was murdered in her home by her Danish husband, Peter Nielsen, on Thursday. The singer was killed alongside her daughter. The sister to the deceased has however come out to reveal what actually transpired on that day.
According to an audio recording by Newsguru,
Gift stated that there was no obvious altercation between Alizee and her husband before the killing took place, and she reportedly served him dinner before they went to bed.
She said:
‘My name is Madaki Gift I am Zainab’s sister, the late Zainab who died. It just happened over night when she finished preparing the food for her husband . The housemate went to her room and I was the last person to leave the kitchen. So after a while , there was a fight between both of them and she was just shouting “Help Help!!
“I woke my junior sister up asking her if she heard any noise, later I saw the man hitting her head on the floor. I tried to help but he locked everywhere, there was no way for me to run and call people to come and help.
“This was around 4am In the morning, by the time we got there later in the morning she was dead.”
Alizee was a Kogi State born singer who signed a two-year record deal with an Asian record label, Petra Entertainment in 2017. The record deal came with a brand new Ford Explorer, a house in Banana Island and international distribution with affiliates of her record company in Asia.
Meanwhile, the late singer’s record label has issued a statement urging the Nigerian Immigration Service to be on the alert.
The statement partly read:
“Petra Entertainment Limited has received with shock news of the sudden demise of our artist Nielsen Zainab Joy (Aged 29) and her daughter Nielsen Petra (Aged 4) at their Banana Island, Lagos home on the 5th of April 2018. The late Nielsen Zainab Joy (also known as Alizee) was a Nigerian citizen married to Nielsen Peter Schau a Danish citizen resident in Nigeria.
“While we exercise restraint in making public comments on the circumstances surrounding the demise of Alizee and her daughter, – in order not to prejudices on-going police investigations – it has become important to correct some misinformation presently circulating in the media space.
“We call all law enforcement agencies to speedily unravel the circumstances surrounding the demise of these vibrant Nigerians and bring all complicit persons and/or entities to justice. In the light of reports suggesting that Alizee’s husband may be under police investigation in connection with these painful deaths, we particularly call on the Nigerian immigration Services to remain vigilant at this time and urge the cooperation of all foreign missions in the country. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the relatives of the late Zainab and Petra.”
