Operatives of Ogun State command of Nigeria Police have arrested a woman identified as Deborah, for allegedly stabbing two ladies, Adebayo Omokehinde and Kolapo Aishat, during a scuffle in the Aiyetoro area of the state.
Spokesperson for the state police command, Omolola Odutola, disclosed that the suspect allegedly fled the scene after committing the crime but was apprehended days later.
She said, “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 of them in critical condition. The suspect immediately absconded, evading arrest for nearly two weeks.
