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.

2024 Budget: You Want To Strangle Nigerians, PDP Slams Tinubu

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has described President Bola Tinubu’s proposed N27.5trillion budget for the 2024 fiscal year as hopeless and a huge disservice. PDP said if the proposed budget is passed, it will further asphyxiate Nigerians and plunge the nation into more economic depression and hopelessness. A statement signed by PDP’s spokesman, Debo Ologunagba, said: “It is clear that the 2024 budget as proposed with its heavy provisions for the luxury appetite of the Presidency and All Progressives Congress (APC) leaders, which is predicated and expected to be funded from multilateral and bilateral foreign loans and increased taxes on Nigerians, is designed to further mortgage our nation and strangulate the already impoverished Nigerians. “The budget framework with respect to recurrent expenditure vote of N9.9trillion, capital expenditure vote of N8.7trillion, and N8.25trillion for debt services is unsustainable and unrealisable in view of the stated outstanding debt and proposed
