A 19-year-old woman, Fatimo Agboke, has been arrested for allegedly stabbing her neighbour’s son to death in the Ijegun area of Lagos State.
The incident occurred around 9:20 p.m. on September 9, 2024, during a confrontation between the suspect and the deceased, Farouk Azeez.
The spokesperson of the Lagos State Police Command, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, who confirmed the incident to Punch on Wednesday, September 11, stated that the suspect reportedly got into a fight with the 20-year-old victim, during which she allegedly grabbed a broken bottle and stabbed the victim in the neck.
“On September 9, 2024, a complaint was received from the Ijegun area of the state, reported at Isheri-Oshun Division by a man that a neighbour had an argument with his son,” the PPRO said.
“The victim was stabbed with a broken bottle on his neck by Agboke, which caused him grievous bodily harm. He gave up the ghost during an attempt to rush him to a hospital for medical attention.
“The division raced to the scene where the lifeless body of the deceased was seen on the ground, facing up in a pool of blood with a deep cut on his neck. The corpse has been removed and deposited at Mainland General Hospital in Yaba for autopsy.”
