A man, Hussain Zubairu has been arrested by the police in
Kogi State for allegedly stabbing his pregnant neighbour, Bose Muhammed to
death. He was said to have stabbed the
woman in the stomach with a pair of scissors.
She was rushed to a hospital in the area but died on
arrival. Muhammed and the friend were said to be talking about a lost mobile
phone when the suspect interfered. It was gathered that she cautioned Zubairu
not to meddle in their discussion and afterwards, an altercation ensued between
both.
The suspect was said to have become enraged and descended on
the woman with the scissors. According to the police, the suspect was described
as violent by some residents of the area, while others claimed he was on drugs.
The source said, “Many residents within that area said he
was a drug addict but that has not been confirmed. I learnt the woman
(Muhammed) had always been trying to avoid him because he was troublesome. On
that day, the victim and her friend were chatting and he interrupted.
“She told him to mind his business and that infuriated him.
He removed a pair of scissors he hid in his trousers, stabbed her in the
stomach and fled. The woman lost a lot of blood. She was pronounced dead on
getting to the hospital. She was pregnant, but was not living with her
husband.”
Zubairu, said to be in his 30s, was later arrested by
detectives from the Okene Police Division while the deceased had been buried
according to Islamic rites.
The Police Public Relations Officer, Kogi State Police
Command, ASP Willy Aya, confirmed the incident.
