A tenant has allegedly stabbed her friend to death in Lagos State Nigeria during an argument.
The tenant by name, Annie Ofili, has allegedly stabbed her friend, Glory Okon, to death at her residence on the Greenville Estate, Badore, in the Ajah area of Lagos State.
According to Punch, Glory Okon paid Annie Ofili a visit at her residence, while the both of them were discussing, an argument ensued which triggered the suspect to stab her friend during the process.
According to a source which disclosed some information to newsmen, “No one knows what the argument was about that lead to such an ugly incident”.
“When they were shouting at each other, all our efforts to open the door and separate them proved abortive”, the source added.
The source, however, said the landlord alongside other neighbours in the building forced the door open, adding that when they gained entry into Ofili’s apartment, they discovered that she had allegedly stabbed Okon’s neck and back.
The source stated that they met Ofili on top of her friend with a knife, and her friend was in a pool of blood with knife stabs in her neck and at the back.
Okon was rushed to the hospital in order to revive her at CMS, Lagos Island, but on getting to the hospital, she was confirmed dead by a doctor on duty.
It was gathered that Ofili’s landlord reported the case at the Ajah Police Station for investigation.
