throat after the duo reportedly had an argument over who poured urine
on the latter’s clothes that were spread on the entrance door to her
room.
The incident occurred at about 5pm last Wednesday in the Ikota Housing Estate, Ikota Second Gate area.
It all started when Rose, who was reportedly preparing for her
wedding, had returned from work in the afternoon, and noticed a foul
smell on the clothes spread on her door.
It was learnt that the
deceased went to the landlady, Alhaja Iyabo Hamzat, to report the
matter. The landlady was said to have pacified her, offering to give her
the money to buy some detergent to wash the clothes.
It was
gathered that after some minutes, other neighbours, however, heard
Rose’s sudden cry for help in the corridor. The suspect was said to have
been found holding the deceased by the neck, with a bloodstained
kitchen knife in her hand.
Rose died before she could be rushed to a nearby hospital.
