Homicide detectives from Surulere Police Division, Lagos State, on Tuesday
arrested one Stella Peter for allegedly stabbing her live-in-lover, Bala Haruna,
to death over money for their daughter’s birthday.
The couple lived together at No 2 Tejuosho Avenue, Surulere,
Lagos, for three years and had a baby who just turned one.
The 23-year-old suspect was said to have asked the
25-year-old deceased for money to organise a birthday party for their daughter,
but the latter allegedly refused to respond.
An argument ensued which turned violent as the woman used a
kitchen knife to stab the man in the back, leading to his death.
Confirming the incident, the state Police Public Relations
Officer, Bala Elkana, a deputy superintendent of police, said the matter has
been taken up by the Homicide detectives from the State Criminal Investigation
Department (SCID), Panti, Yaba.
Already, Elkana said the suspect confessed to the crime and
would be charged to court for murder at the end of investigation.
In another development, acting on intelligence, detectives
from Ilemba Hausa Division arrested two suspects, Gideon Amuzie and
Godspower Imafidion , and recovered one
black Honda accord 2007 which they hid at Jemilugba Ilogbo area.
The suspects, who
specialise in snatching vehicles or stealing them outrightly from where they
are parked, confessed that they stole the Honda from a car wash in Satellite
Town.
Similarly, the Igando
Police Division led by its Divisional Police Officer, CSP Taiwo Kasumu, during
one of their routine patrols, arrested four armed robbery suspects.
According to the police, the armed robbery gang usually
terrorise the Igando/Egan residential neighbourhood mostly at night time and
were set to do so again before they were nabbed.
The PRO said one of the suspects, Oseni Waheed, was arrested
at the scene with one locally made pistol while the rest escaped.
Following preliminary interrogation, Waheed led detectives
to Aribisala Street in Egan where three of his fleeing accomplices were
arrested.
The suspects were also on the wanted list of SCID Yaba for
series of robberies and murders including the death of a policeman under
Amukoko Division during one of their robbery operations.
Meanwhile, policemen from Area J also intercepted a van
conveying large quantities of Cannabis also known as Indian Hemp.
Confirming the arrest, the Elkana said: “Police Officers
from Area J Command, intercepted a van along Itafaji Street, Lagos Island
loaded with 20 bags of Cannabis leaves.
“The driver of the van, Usman Adeyemi was arrested while the
vehicle was impounded for discreet investigation.”
