The police in Ogun State have arrested a teenager for allegedly stabbing her boyfriend to death over N3000.

The suspect, Idowu Abosede, reportedly stabbed Aliu Ibrahim on the chest after she had passed a night with him and took N3,000 from his pocket the following morning .

The Police Public Relations Officer in the state, Abimbola Oyeyemi, said Abosede and Ibrahim were seen dragging a knife with each other in the public before she reportedly stabbed his chest which led to his death .

Oyeyemi said the suspect was arrested following a distress call received by Sagamu Divisional police headquarters from Seriki Hausa in Sagamu.

The PPRO said,

“The suspect was arrested following a distress call received from Seriki Hausa in Sagamu that the suspect and her deceased boyfriend were arguing over the sum of N3,000 as a result of which they were dragging a knife with each other and eventually the girl used the knife to stab the boyfriend on his chest which resulted to his death.

“On receiving the distress call, the DPO Sagamu, SP Okiki Agunbiade detailed his detectives to the scene where the suspected teenager was apprehended.

“The blood stained knife which he used to stab the deceased was also recovered.”

The PPRO said the suspect while being interrogated claimed that she had passed a night with the deceased and when she was about going in the morning, she took the sum of N3,000 from the deceased.

Oyeyemi said the action by the suspect angered the deceased who insisted to retrieve the money from his girlfriend .

According to Opeyemi ,the deceased was not ready to give her the whole N3,000 and that was what led to argument between them.

The PPRO said,

“The suspect further stated that it was the deceased who brought out the knife and while dragging it with him, the knife stabbed him on his chest.

He said the remains of the deceased have been released to his relation on their demand to bury him in accordance with the Islamic rites.

Oyeyemi said the Commissioner of police, Kenneth Ebrimson has ordered the immediate transfer of the suspect to the homicide section of the State Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department for further investigation and prosecution.
