An 18-year-old girl, Abosede Idowu has been arrested by men of Ogun State Police Command for allegedly stabbing her boyfriend, Aliyu Ibrahim to death.

The suspect was arrested following a distress call received from Seriki Huasa in Shagamu that the suspect and her deceased boyfriend were arguing over the sum of N3,000.

He said the lovers were dragging a knife with each other and eventually the girl used the knife to stab the boyfriend on his chest which resulted to his death.

The blood stained knife which he used to stab the deceased was also recovered by police.

The PPRO said "On interrogation, the suspect claimed that she came to pass the night with the deceased and when she was about going in the morning, she took the sum of N3,000 from the deceased but he was not ready to give her the whole N3,000 and that was what led to argument between them."
