Gift Wahab, the 20-year-old lady, who allegedly stabbed her boyfriend to death in Ajegunle area of Lagos last Thursday, said she was hypnotized by a force she could not resist.
The suspect, who said she was yet to come to
terms with the reality of her boyfriend’s death, said the argument that
resulted in the fight, which led to her boyfriend’s death, was over N200.
She said: “He usually gave me N200 as feeding
money. On that day, as we were returning from where we went to drink, I became
hungry and complained to him.
“He got angry and asked why I should complain
of hunger after he had spent the only money he had on drinks. An argument
ensued, during which he slapped me in the public.
“I got angry and held on to his shirt. He kept
beating me and in the process, he inflicted injury on my nose.
“It was when I saw blood gushing from my nose
that I ran inside the room and brought out a knife. He dared me to stab him and
I stabbed him in the neck, not knowing he would die.
In an emotional-laden tone, she stated that
she owed her boyfriend, Ebi Amadu, a lot, revealing that he removed her from
the streets, after they met in 2012.
She said: “We met in a hotel in Ojo Road and
since then, I have been living with him and members of his family, comprising
his mother and five siblings in a one-room apartment at 10 Ligali Street, Off
Ojo Road.
“Along the line I got pregnant but I lost the
pregnancy late last year.
“Though he was not rich, we were managing. He
usually gave me N200 for feeding each day. I never meant to kill him. It was a
mistake.
“In fact, I was under a spell. I was
hypnotized. I have never killed anyone in my life. Why will it be my
boyfriend?“
“I sincerely beg for forgiveness from my late
boyfriend’s family. I know this will not bring their son back. But please let
them forgive me.”
The suspect, according to the Police, would be
charged to court at the end of investigation.
