A woman identified only as Deborah has been arrested by the Ogun State Police Command, Southwest Nigeria, for allegedly stabbing two ladies, Adebayo Omokehinde and Kolapo Aishat, during a scuffle in the Aiyetoro area of the state.
The spokesperson for the state police command, Omolola Odutola, told PUNCH Metro on Thursday that the suspect allegedly fled the scene after committing the crime but was apprehended days later.
On January 30, 2025, the suspect allegedly attacked the victims, stabbing them multiple times with a broken bottle and inflicting severe injuries before fleeing the scene.
Odutola disclosed that the suspect had confessed to the crime after her arrest on Wednesday and subsequent interrogation.
She stated, “Deborah allegedly stabbed them multiple times on their breasts, hands, eyes, and other parts of their bodies in a vicious assault that left both in critical condition. The suspect immediately absconded, evading arrest for nearly two weeks.
“However, luck ran out for her on February 12, 2025, when our officers successfully apprehended her. Upon questioning, Deborah confessed to committing the crime.
“Medical reports were immediately issued to the victims, directing them to a general hospital for urgent treatment.
“Meanwhile, upon completion of investigations, the suspect will be charged in court to face prosecution.”
In January, PUNCH Metro reported that a 22-year-old woman, Iyanu Adedeji, allegedly stabbed her husband, Funsho Jimoh, to death in the Gbonogun area of Abeokuta.
The suspect later reported herself to a Divisional Police Station in the area after the incident.
