SSS 1 Student Stabbed To Death In Abuja
A 19-year-old secondary school student residing in Kubwa town in the FCT has tragically lost her life after being stabbed, allegedly by her co-tenant.
The deceased, Salma Yunusa, was living under the care of her elder sister, Bilikisu Yunusa, around the Byazhin area in the town.
According to Bilikisu, an argument broke out between the suspect, identified as Immaculate Chukwudi, and another male tenant known as Pastor. Bilikisu attempted to intervene in the situation.
Bilikisu recounted, "I saw the pastor packing off his clothes that he washed, even though they were yet to dry. When I tried to find out why, he simply told me that it’s the suspect that demanded it. I commended his decision, only for the woman to come out and threatened to deal with me, accusing me of being involved in the matter. She brought out a knife later around 10 pm in the night and continued to make some noise in the house."
She continued, "The following morning, I went to my drum to fetch water, but the woman approached again and spit over the water. My younger sister (the deceased) came out from the room, and after informing her about the development, she immediately threw away the water on the ground, which seemed to have annoyed the suspect. So, the suspect left, only for her to return with a bucket filled with water and emptied it on my sister."
"As my sister was trying to clear her face from the water, she brought out a knife and stabbed her in the chest. I rushed her to the Kubwa General Hospital where she was pronounced dead on arrival."
Bilikisu stated that the police were alerted about the incident, and they promptly arrested the suspect.
The deceased was laid to rest last Wednesday in her hometown in Ajagwumu, Dekina LGA of Kogi State.
When contacted, the FCT police command’s spokesperson, Josephine Adeh, confirmed the incident, stating that the matter was still under investigation, and the suspect would soon be charged to court.
