A 26-year-old man has reportedly stabbed his 18-year-old
girlfriend in a hotel room in Yenagoa. The man took to his heels when the
wailing of the victim attracted the attention of other guests in the guest
house who came to her rescue.
The victim was identified as Miss Faith Pius. The guest
house is located at Biogbolo area of Yenagoa.
One of the guests said that the suspect escaped when other
guests and residents in the neighbourhood rushed to the scene.
The source, who pleaded anonymity, said the incident
happened on Friday night.
It was gathered that Pius was rushed to a private clinic
where she was treated and the wounds stitched.
“But she developed complications on Saturday and she died on Sunday morning,’’ the source said.The state Police commissioner, Mr Amba Asuquo, who confirmed the incident, said it was first considered as a case of assault occasioned by harm.“Initially, it was treated purely as a case of assault occasioned by harm but now that the girl has died, we are now treating a case of murder against one suspect.“We are in the process of ensuring that the suspect is arrested because after committing the crime he ran away.“I know some people are associating it to ritual killing but we cannot conclude,” he said.
Youths of Biogbolo community took to the streets to protest
the death of the girl from knife cuts allegedly inflicted on her by her lover
boy.
The youths were said to have attacked shops and vandalised
vehicles reportedly owned by the kinsmen of the lover boy along some streets in
the area.
It took the intervention of detachments of riot policemen to
disperse the aggrieved youths.
The incident caused panic as residents run in different
directions while operators of business outfits closed shop and fled.
Stephen Pius, an elder brother of the victim, alleged that
the suspect cut his younger sister twice each in her stomach and her heart
region.
