24-Yr-Old UNIPORT Student Stabs Girlfriend To Death

Police operatives have arrested a 24-year-old student of the University of Port Harcourt (UNIPORT) in Rivers State for allegedly stabbing his girlfriend to death.

The Edo State Commissioner of Police Muhammed Dankwara, who made the disclosure in Benin, the state capital, on Tuesday, August 29, 2023, said the suspect’s landlord reported the case to the police.

The landlord, he said, told the police that the student stabbed the lady several times in the neck and in the chest with a knife.

Dankwara said: “Police operatives immediately swung into action, arrested the suspect, recovered two knives, and rushed the victim to the hospital where her body was deposited in a morgue.

“Items recovered from the suspect were two blood-stained knives, two iPhones, one Nokia phone, one laptop, and two ATM cards.

“The case was transferred to the homicide section of the State Criminal Investigation Department, Benin. The suspect will be arraigned for murder soon.”

Speaking with newsmen, the suspect said the deceased travelled from Asaba, the Delta State capital, to spend some time with him in Benin when he found some fetish substances in her possession.

The student said this led to an argument that resulted in the girl stabbing him and he responded in equal measure.

In another development, Dankwara announced the arrest of a 25-year-old who allegedly defrauded an 18-year-old of N5.2million.

The police commissioner said fake denominations of foreign currencies and charms used for hypnotising and manipulating victims were recovered from the suspect.

He said the suspect already wrote a confessional statement to the police and would soon be arraigned.

Dankwara also paraded a 31-year-old man who allegedly released nude pictures of his ex-girlfriend to the public and another one for alleged rape.

Another suspect paraded before newsmen was a member of the Nigeria Hunters and Forest Security Service who was arrested for alleged murder.

Dankwara said the suspect reportedly shot his victim to death.

Governor Fubara maintained that police officers are engaged and trained as professionals to protect lives and property while contributing to the desired peace in the State as a patriotic duty. The Governor insisted that it is, therefore, an aberration for any of them to think that protecting any particular individual or being one-sided in the political affairs to the detriment of the State amounts to professionalism. Governor Fubara gave the advise at the inauguration and formal handover of 100 operational vehicles acquired by his administration to the Rivers State Police Command at the Sharks Football Stadium in Port Harcourt on Tuesday. The Governor said: "I need to say this, so that you will understand. When you (Disu) ca...
