Woman reportedly stabbed to death by former boyfriend in Lagos state
A young woman, Deborah Moses, also known as Deb’rah Porsche, has been allegedly killed by her former boyfriend, Lintex Ogale, nearly two years after she ended their relationship in Lagos State.
Penpushing reports that the suspect who has been arrested by the police allegedly committed the crime on Thursday evening inside the deceased estate in Lagos, as a close family friend, Meddy Olutu Imanoel, narrated the incident in a Facebook post on Friday after speaking with the victim’s immediate sister.
The family friend added that the lady ended the relationship in August 2023 due to alleged maltreatment, but the suspect allegedly refused to move on and repeatedly threatened her that if he didn’t marry blood will flow and nobody will marry the lady.
Penpushing further reports that Imanoel, on the facebook page stated that the deceased’s sister said the victim, a recent National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) graduate and interior decorator, avoided her former boyfriend as much as possible.
‘On Thursday night, the suspect reportedly disguised as a dispatch rider to gain access to her estate. When she declined to receive a supposed delivery, he scaled the fence and forced his way in. He first cut her gas pipe, hoping the house would explode. When that failed, he forced his way in with a knife and stabbed her multiple times’, Imanoel stated.
Penpushing also reports that he said neighbours who heard her screams rushed to help, while the suspect allegedly pretended to be dead by lying beside her but was later found alive and arrested by police.
The sad incident was equally confirmed by another acquaintance, Adoga Israel, calling for solidarity among members of the Igede community to demand justice.
Penpushing reports that as at the time of filing this report the Lagos State Police Command was yet to speak or issue official statement on the incident, while the killing adds to a growing list of relationship-related homicides in Lagos state.
