The police in Lagos State have arrested a young woman, Hannah Osazuwa, for allegedly stabbing her lover, Tomide Akintoye, to death.
It was gathered that the incident occurred around 8:00a.m. at Gowon Estate in Egbeda, shortly after the lovebirds returned from an outing. Osazuwa, who was treated to a lavish weekend in celebration of her birthday, had allegedly stabbed Akintoye, alias Life of Tomson, with a pair of scissors.
According to a source, the suspect, a resident of Idimu, was cutting her hair with the scissors when an argument ensued between the duo. “They had a nice weekend together. They were lovers and the guy celebrated the girl’s birthday. But early this morning, they had a disagreement. The girl was using the scissors when they started fighting.
“The guy was using his hand to beat her but she used the scissors and stabbed him on the chest. I heard Osazuwa caught her boyfriend chatting with another girl on Whatsapp, which led her to believe he was cheating on her. One thing led to another, they started arguing, she pulled out a scissors and stabbed him close to the heart. He bled internally, and died on the spot,” said the source.
Family and friends of the deceased took to social media yesterday to call out the suspect, demanding justice for Akintoye. When contacted, spokesman for the Lagos State police command, Olarinde Famous-Cole, said the case would be transferred to the Homicide Department for further action.
In Katsina State, a 50-year-old man, Abdullahi Sani, has allegedly raped a three-year-old, Umma Ibrahim, to death. The incident, which occurred last week Thursday, took place in Jabiri, Funtua local council.
A statement from the police, signed by their spokesman in the state, DSP Gambo Isah, said Sani, also known as Mai’aya, had lured the girl into an uncompleted building.
It said the suspect then “forcefully had carnal knowledge” of the little girl, which led to her sustaining injuries. “She was rushed to the Funtua General hospital and later died the next day.”
The statement, however, added that the suspect had confessed to the crime, and that investigation was ongoing in the matter.
Meanwhile, a victim of Monkey Pox receiving treatment at the quarantine centre in the Niger Delta University Hospital (UNDTH) Okolobiri, has committed suicide. It was gathered that the victim, whose name was not disclosed took his life in the early hours of yesterday.
The Bayelsa State government confirmed the development in a press conference involving the Commissioners of Information and Orientation, Mr. Daniel Iworiso-Markson; Health, Prof. Ebitimitula Etebu, the Chief Medical Director, NDUTH, Prof. Dimie Ogoina and other senior health officials.
Etebu disclosed that the deceased was among the 21 suspected cases of ‘MonkeyPox’ that were being managed at the Niger Delta University Teaching Hospital (NDUTH). He expressed regret that the patient took his own life despite speedily recovering from the disease.
He said the deceased medical history did not suggest any mental illness or features of depression and maintained that the patient did not die from the Monkey pox disease.
Etebu said that the police and his family had been duly contacted and all due diligence was being followed for his funeral.
The Police Public Relations Officer in the state, Mr. Asinim Butswat, confirmed the development, saying the matter had been reported to the police. He, however, said the police were not suspecting any foul play, noting that there were no visible marks of violence other than the rope he tied around his neck.
