It was a show of a bad omen for a 28 year man who was stabbed to death

at Apapa area of Lagos State, after a 20-year-old woman, Gift Wahab,

stabbed her lover, Ebi Amade, 28, to death.

Firstclass newsline learnt that the incident occurred at the couple's

residence on Fasasi Street, Ajegunle, Apapa, on Thursday, March 19.

Firstclass newsline learnt that the lady, Wahab, who hailed from

Uromi, Edo State, had been living with Ebi since 2013, after she

dropped out of secondary school. Ebi hailed from Bayelsa State.

It was learnt that the couple had a kid in 2014, who died in December

after a brief sickness.

Firstclass newsline learnt that the couple had gone on an outing on

Thursday when an argument ensued in the afternoon over feeding money.

The suspect, a hairdresser, was said to have stabbed the 28-year-old

to death after they got home.

Some security men from the Layeni police station division were alerted

by neighbours and she was subsequently arrested.

Speaking with the firstclass newsline crew, the lady 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.

"It all started 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.

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.

He said, "The couple met each other at a night club in 2013 and had

been dating since then. They were not legally married. They went out

on Thursday and probably got drunk in the process. When they returned,

there was an argument and a fight began.

"The suspect ran to the kitchen and grabbed a knife. She stabbed her

lover in the right side of the neck, and he was rushed to a hospital,

where he died."

Police Public Relations Officer, DSP,lagos command, Kenneth Nwosu,

confirmed the incident, adding that the matter had been transferred to

the State Department of Criminal Investigations for further

investigation.

He said, "The case has been transferred to the SDCI for further

investigation, while the suspect is in our custody."
