A 60-year-old American woman, Jacqueline Bolling Elton, has died in Warri, Delta State, during a visit to her Nigerian lover.

A report by security expert Zagazola Makama said that Elton arrived Warri on September 15 to spend time with her male friend, 39 years old Alawode Olaide.

“Reports indicate that on Sept. 29, at about 3:00 p.m., she suddenly took ill and was rushed to a private hospital in Otokutu. She was later referred to the Central Hospital, Warri, where doctors confirmed her dead on arrival.

“The incident was reported to the authorities, who visited the scene and placed Olaide in custody for interrogation,” Zagazola Makama said in his blog, zagazola.org.

He added that the remains of Jacqueline Bolling Elton have been deposited at the Central Hospital Mortuary for autopsy, while the case is to be transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID) for further investigation.
