Lady Stabs Friend To Death Over Argument

A 19-year-old girl, Fatimo Agboke, has allegedly stabbed her friend Faruk Azeez to death following a heated argument in the Ijegun area of  Lagos State.

It was gathered that the incident occurred around 9:20pm.

Despite efforts to rush the 20-year-old victim, Faruk Azeez, to the hospital, he succumbed to his injuries.

According to the Lagos State Police Command Public Relations Officer, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, the father of the deceased, reported the incident to the Isheri Oshun Division shortly after receiving a distressing call from a neighbour.

“The complainant from Ijegun informed us that his son, Azeez, had a disagreement with a female friend, Fatimo Agboke, which escalated into a physical altercation. During the fight, Fatimo allegedly stabbed Faruk in the neck with a broken bottle, causing serious injuries,” Hundeyin stated.

He assured the public that a thorough investigation is underway to determine the full circumstances surrounding the tragic event.
