The Lagos State Police Command has started investigation into the death of a 25-year-old man, Auwal Sulaiman allegedly stabbed to death by his live-in lover, Precious Okogbua.

He said, “On August 1, 2020, one Musa Abubakar, Manager, Island Village, off Liverpool, Apapa, came to the station and reported that on the same day, he received a phone call that one Precious Okogbua, stabbed her lover, Awal Sulaiman, in the neck with a knife.

“The victim was rushed to the General Hospital in Apapa, where he was confirmed dead. Upon close observation of the corpse, there was a mark of violence in his neck.

“We have transferred the suspect to the SCIID, Yaba, for discreet investigation and we have deposited the corpse in a mortuary for an autopsy.”

Okogbua was alleged to have, however, reached for a knife with which she stabbed the 25-year-old in the neck.

Sulaiman, who bled from the wound, fell as he writhed in pain.
