Former Cameroonian striker Samuel Eto’o has been arrested on suspicion of ‘negligence causing others to die’ after his girlfriend fell over a balcony to her death in Lagos, Nigeria.
Samuel Eto’o, 37, was arrested at one of the state’s top luxury hotels, ‘The Wheatbaker Hotel’, along Lawrence Rd, Ikoyi, Lagos, following the horrific death of Nneka Claudia, 26.
She fell to her death after the pair were said to be having ‘strange and extravagant sex’ on the balcony of a 5th floor of the hotel apartment. She suffered severe head injuries and multiple fractures when she plunged naked to the floor below.
A half-used packet of Viagra gel was discovered nearby, it is reported. She was found by the building’s security guard Peter Obina, 25, who said he heard a ‘loud crash’.
He then walked over and saw Nneka lying in a pool of blood before he called for help. Paramedics arrived and performed CPR on Nneka – who was still alive – but she was later pronounced dead in hospital. Nneka, also known by her nickname Joy, was working as a bank teller at Ecobank, Lagos-Ikeja branch.
