Mr Ali Madaki, the
father of late musician, Zainab Ali-Nielsen aka Alizee, who was allegedly murdered by her Danish husband, Peter
Nielsen, has given an insight into the couple’s marital life.
Recall that Alizee,
37, and daughter, Petra, 4, were found dead in the kitchen of their Banana
Island home on Thursday.
“I have known my
late daughter ’s husband for over seven years now. At the outset , he was of
good character but last year , he started fighting his wife . Last November , a
case was reported at the police station when he beat her to a coma . He then
wrote an undertaking that he would never batter her again,” Madaki told The Punch.
Recalling how he
got information about Thursday’s incident, he said, “On Thursday morning , he
called me ; I was in Abuja . Since I missed his calls , I called back and he
told me he saw my daughter and granddaughter on the floor in the kitchen. I
asked what went wrong; he didn ’t say a word and dropped the call . One of my
two daughters staying with them called their mother and broke the news . We
took the next flight to Lagos and found out she was dead truly . I didn ’t even
know my grandchild was dead too . I told my daughter to get Petra for me and we
should go, then she told me she was dead too . I was shocked . The husband
claimed it was gas suffocation that killed them . We know that gas doesn ’t kill
people that way . In the pictures , you would see bruises all over their
bodies. They were strangled to death. I strongly believe he did it because
their compound is highly secured . Whenever I visited them , the security
operatives had to confirm my visit with them before I would be allowed in .”
He called on the
government to ensure his late daughter’s husband was dealt with accordingly to
serve as deterrent to other foreigners.
