A 19-year-old woman, Fatimo Agboke, has been arrested by the police for fatally stabbing her neighbour’s son, Faroul Azeez, during a confrontation in the Ijegun area of Lagos State.
The incident occurred around 9:20 p.m. on September 9, 2024, according to State Police Public Relations Officer, Benjamin Hundeyin.
Efforts 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 mentioned that the suspect had been arrested and detained, adding that an investigation was underway to uncover the incident’s circumstances.
