Niyola’s Friend ‘Murdered and Burned Beyond Recognition’ by Partner

Today, the singer took to her Instagram to announce the brutal murder of an unnamed friend during a domestic altercation. The singer says that the victim had been serially and violently abused by this man, but stayed in the relationship in the hope that it would work.

“My friend was murdered by her ex and burned beyond recognition. Before then he had battered her black and blue on one occasion and would constantly drain her emotionally,” said the singer.

Niyola also shared a screenshot of their conversation in which the victim revealed her dreams of becoming a successful woman.

“These signs were there, he tried to kill her many times until he succeeded. Now my friend is gone and she’ll never be able to grow into the person God destined her to be.”

The EME star used the opportunity to implore fans to flee from abusive relationships.

“If he pushes you, hits you, yells at you … my dear take to your heels before you get yourself killed . Life is too fickle to be toyed with . Only a fool refuses to learn from other people’s lessons.” she wrote.

Some of those who commented on the post include her boss, Banky W and OAP Toke Makinwa who went on to post a picture of the victim.

This beauty was killed by her Ex boyfriend. Burnt beyond recognition I hear, I do not know her but this could be anyone of us. (Before you get all sanctimonious on me, search yourself) Father God give us all the grace to survive this world and the evil that is in it I hear he burnt her to death and joined her family in a search party for her, ha!!!!!! This world is wicked, may God grant her family peace thru this storm, may God give us more grace yet again I pray to be 10 steps ahead of our enemies, may God Take charge of our emotions and force us all out of toxic relationships and unhealthy situations/associations. The need to save someone you didn't create because we think we need them in our lives, the void that lets us stay in bad places for the sake of comfort from the lies we tell ourselves yet we kill our purpose and destiny, God please break these chains today, let the veil be lifted off another's face How can you burn another human being? How does love get to this? To love is not to die, I'm so gutted. RIP to the dead
