Picture Kodak’s death: Why Jennifer Alegieuno is alleging foul play in the arrest of her boyfriend Clarence Peters
Jennifer Alegieuno, the longtime girlfriend of music video director Clarence Peters has accused operatives of the Lagos State Police Command of foul play in the handling of investigation into the death of popular dancer and video vixen Love Divine Ike aka Picture Kodak and the arrest of her boyfriend in connection with the death.
The Lagos State Police Command in a statement by its spokesperson Bala Elkana at the weekend said Clarence and others present at the scene when the incident occurred have been arrested and being interrogated as the police is investigating a possible murder.
Jennifer in an Instagram post where she spoke in defense of her boyfriend of 14 years said the initial investigation carried out by the IPO in charge of the case after visiting the scene and the body at the morgue, concluded that the death was a result of a natural accident.
She also debunked claims by Elkana that the music director was arrested, saying he was invited for questioning and not arrested. She further stated that he was also not charged with murder.
In the lengthy Instagram post, the makeup artist accused Deputy Commissioner of Police Yetunde Longe of attempting to frame her boyfriend for murder and described as “Sickening, the corruption and laxity in the Nigerian Police Force!”
Jennifer said on his arrival at the State Criminal Investigation and Intelligence, in Yaba, Clarence wrote his report to the effect that Kodak’s death was a natural accident as declared by the IPO, but “events took a different turn when the DCP- YETUNDE LONGE, came in and asked that the report be torn, he wrote a second one that she tore again. By the third report, then came in MR. OYE and his father Sir Shina Peters and she couldn’t continue with her foul play. She agreed they had NO CASE with him and the rest of the witnesses.”
“‘So why are you still holding him?’ Everyone asked, she said she was waiting for the autopsy result so she can attach it. When she saw she had been caught, she sent them to put out a press statement that he was charged for murder. So thinking Nigerians, can,” Jennifer asked.
Jennifer, who said she is not against the police for doing their work, wondered if a suspect can “be ‘charged’ without an autopsy conducted.”
She slammed social media users suggesting that her boyfriend raped and killed the dancer, saying “categorically alleging you know people he raped and abused is not something to joke about.”
