A 19-year-old woman, Fatimo Agboke, has been arrested for allegedly stabbing her neighbor’s son, Faroul Azeez, 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 Agboke and the 20-year-old victim.
According to Lagos State Police Command spokesperson SP Benjamin Hundeyin, who spoke to Punch, Agboke and Azeez got into an argument during which Agboke allegedly used a broken bottle to stab Azeez 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 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.”
Hundeyin stated that the suspect has been arrested and an investigation is ongoing to uncover the full details of the incident.
