A 19-year-old woman, Fatimo Agboke, has been accused of fatally stabbing her neighbour’s son, Faroul Azeez, during a confrontation in the Ijegun area of Lagos State.
PUNCH Online learnt that the incident occurred around 9:20 p.m. on September 9, 2024.
The State Police Public Relations Officer, Benjamin Hundeyin, confirmed this to our correspondent on Wednesday.
The 19-year-old 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, resulting in Azeez’s death.
Attempts to rush the deceased to the hospital for medical attention were in vain, as he tragically passed away on the way. Hundeyin stated, “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 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 had been arrested and detained, adding that an investigation was underway to uncover the incident’s circumstances.
A PUNCH Online report from February 2024 described how a middle-aged woman named Cynthia Aigbondon fatally stabbed her neighbour, identified only as Barakat, in the Ajegunle area of the state.
The suspect was arrested and detained by the police command.
