Blessing Edet, 24, has brutally stabbed her boyfriend, Edet Ebong, to death with a knife. According to the police, the deceased and Blessing lived together in the same apartment at 1, Falana Street Ogbombo, Lekki before the incident.
It was gathered that Ebong on the day of the incident had gone out during the day and got back home drunk. When he got home, he demanded to have s*x with Blessing who denied him saying that she was tired. Ebong disagreed with her and tried to force her which resulted in a fight.
In the process, the deceased allegedly got angry and broke the wall mirror picking out a slice from it. When Blessing saw this, she reportedly picked up a knife and allegedly stabbed him many times. He died a week later after he was rushed to the hospital.
The police has dragged the woman to court saying the offence is contrary and punishable under Section 221 of the criminal law of Lagos State of Nigeria, 2011.
The woman was brought before the Magistrate, Mrs Folarin Williams of an Ebutte Metta Magistrate’s court who adjourned the matter till April 4 for advice from the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP).
