The Edo State Police Command has arrested a suspected Yahoo boy, Victor Ifakachukwu, for allegedly stabbing his girlfriend to death in Benin City.
The tragic incident occurred at 10, Osahon Street, Ogheghe Quarters, off Sapele Road, Benin.
The suspect’s landlord, Emmanuel Momoh, reported the incident to the police on Monday, August 21, 2023.
When the violence broke out, the couple was said to have locked themselves inside the house.
Deadly Attack
The suspect was arrested and hospitalised due to severe injuries he sustained during what appeared to be a deadly knife attack in his apartment.
Spokesperson of the Edo State Police Command, SP Chidi Nwabuzor, confirmed the incident.
Nwabuzor said a full-scale investigation has commenced as two blood-stained knives, one laptop, two iPhones, and one Nokia phone were recovered from the apartment.
The police spokesperson said that the suspect was being closely monitored at an undisclosed hospital, hoping to account for his crime whenever he regains consciousness.
What Actually Happened
“When we arrived at the house, Omo, blood was flowing like water, I believe they started stabbing themselves when a quarrel erupted between them.
“I suspect something went wrong and the girl fought back with her last power. When the boy regains consciousness, he will tell us how many of them were in the house and what actually happened.”
