Lady passes away after spending night at man’s house

A Nigerian man has been detained by the police after a lady came to visit him and spent the night at his house only to pass away.
This is contained in a post made available on a popular social media platform, X, formally.
The post shared by a user, @itsleeswhag, confirm the incident happened to his distant cousin who is now in the custody of the police.
Detailing the event, he mentioned that his distant cousin is in the custody of the police over an incident involving a lady.
A lady came to visit him and spent the night only for her to die before the next day.
His statement:
“My distant cousin has been in police detention for over a month now because a woman came over to his place to spend the night and he woke up the next day to discover that the lady is dead.”
He mentioned that he suggested an autopsy to be done but the lady’s family is yet to respond, “I suggested the autopsy too, we haven’t gotten a feedback from the lady’s family.”
As the post made it’s way online, concerned individuals stormed the comment page of the post to share their thoughts.
See some reactions below:
@Jeffosky1: “This is serious. It’s sad that the circumstances point to your cousin as a suspect but in grounding an action for manslaughter, there must be a nexus b/w the mens rea (intention) & actus reus (the wrongful act). The result of the autopsy is also important to prove cause of death.”
@Olori_Seun1: “He need a very good lawyer and AUTOPSY has to be done and make una pray well well say no be suffocation.”
@OlanmaDiamond: “Why haven’t police carried out autopsy, to know the cause of her death and stop tormenting him?”
@D_Ministar: “The prosecution would need to prove beyond reasonable doubt that he caused the death intentionally or through negligence. A good criminal defense lawyer should be able to challenge this and either secure bail or push for the case to move forward properly through the courts.”
@Adx0G: “The law said he will do jail except he has a concrete evidence that he doesn’t have a hand in it or he should get a good lawyer and autopsy should be done on the dead body.”
@Misturrah: “This is one thing i fear the most because how will he explain it 🤦🏾♀️ in a sane country proper investigation would be done.”
