Tragedy struck in the Ajegunle, Apapa
area of Lagos State, after a 20-year-old woman, Gift Wahab, stabbed her
lover, Ebi Amade, 28, to death.
The two reportedly had a kid in 2014, who died in December after a brief sickness.
It was learnt that the couple had gone on an outing on Thursday when an argument ensued in the afternoon over feeding money.
Wahab, a hairdresser, was said to have stabbed the 28-year-old to death after they got home.
Policemen from the Layeni division were alerted by neighbours and she was subsequently arrested.
Speaking with PUNCH Metro, the suspect said she did not intend to kill her lover, adding that she acted in anger.
She said, “We have been together since
2013. My father died and I dropped out of school when I was in SSS 3,
and that was when we started dating.
“On Thursday, we went out for an event.
As we were returning home, I said he should hand me the key to the house
and my feeding allowance, but he said no. He explained that he had no
money for our feeding.
“Then he started to abuse me. I told him I
was going home, and that he should not bother about the money again.
That was how he punched me in the face and attacked me while we were
still on the road.
“I left him and went to look for a
hammer, which I used to break the door. That night, when he came in, I
was still angry. I got a knife which I used to stab him. I didn’t intend
to kill him. I was just annoyed over what happened in the afternoon.”
It was gathered that neither the victim’s relatives nor the suspect’s had learnt about the incident.
However, the corpse of the victim had been deposited in a mortuary in the area.
A police source revealed that Ebi was stabbed to death on the right side of the neck.
He added that the police had also recovered the knife used to commit the crime.
