Man stabs friend to death over woman

26 year old Udoka Ibemesi has been arrested for allegedly stabbing his friend Okechukwu Agbana to death during a fight over a lady named Judith Chukwu.  The suspect is currently being detained at the State Criminal Investigation Department as homicide detectives conduct their investigation.

It has been gathered that the two friends started out verbally assaulting each other. Udoka accused Okechukwu of stealing his girlfriend, while Okechukwu accused Udoka of stabbing him in the back because he was financially buoyant. Verbal assault later escalated to physical assault and Udoka  allegedly stabbed Okechukwu in the neck with a kitchen knife. Okechukwu was rushed to a hospital by neighbours but died before arrival.

Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer, Mr Fank Mba confirmed the incident and said the body has been taken to a mortuary and an investigation is ongoing.
