The Lagos state police have arrested a 47-year-old man, Emmanuel Chukwuma, for stabbing his 45-year-old girlfriend, Bosede Adefehinti, to death on 7th Avenue, Festac.
\nInformation gathered says, the man, popularly known as Oliver on the street, was living with the woman as boyfriend and girlfriend, not as a married couple. According to Findings, although they had no child together, the man had a child elsewhere.<\/p>\n
An eyewitness who pleaded anonymity, told reporters that this wasn\u2019t the first time the lovers had issues.<\/p>\n
According to him, \u201cYesterday around 2:30 pm, Oliver stabbed his girlfriend, and after stabbing her, he tried to kill himself by jumping into the well, but we stopped him and called the police.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey are not married, and this is not the first time they have had issues, but yesterday\u2019s was beyond anything before.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat I believe caused the fight was an inferiority complex on the man\u2019s part because he has no job and helps his girlfriend sell herbal medicines, popularly known as Agbo\u2014a concoction prepared from a variety of herbs.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo, most times, when he\u2019s selling, the girlfriend leaves the shop while he remains there, sometimes receiving banter from the customers.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Lagos State Police Spokesman, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, upon reaching out to him, confirmed the incident via WhatsApp chat.<\/p>\n
He stated, \u201cAt about 3:10 pm, a distress call was received that one Emmanuel Chukwuma, aged 47 years, stabbed his girlfriend, Bosede Adefehinti, aged 45 years, to death.
\n\u201cImmediately, detectives and a patrol team visited the scene of the crime. The suspect was arrested from the well where he hid.
\n\u201cPhotographs were taken while waiting for Lagos State health staff for the possible evacuation of the corpse to the mortuary.<\/p>\n
\u201cMeanwhile, the case file will be transferred to the Homicide section, Panti.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
