Female worker stabs
colleague to death in Aba

A 22-year-old female worker of a local
custard manufacturing company in Aba, Abia
State, Miss Chizoba Nwachukwu, has
allegedly been stabbed to death by her
colleague, following a dispute.
It was gathered that prior to the incident,
both girls who worked in the factory located
on Obohia Road in the commercial city, had
a quarrel over the use of one of the
appliances.
Sources stated that the quarrel started when
Chizoba’s colleague, Chiamaka (surname
withheld), who had been absent from work
for two weeks, resumed duties on the fateful
day and found out that the deceased was
using a plastic appliance she usually worked
with, and confronted her.
What began as an argument later snowballed
into a quarrel as a result of which, the
deceased allegedly hit Chiamaka with a
plastic container on her cheek.
In retaliation, Chiamaka allegedly reached
out for a knife and stabbed Chizoba, who
died instantly.
“She (Chiamaka) confronted Chizoba on why
she made use of her rubber without her
permission. Chizoba told her that she merely
used it while she (Chiamaka) was away.
“It was while they were exchanging words
that Chizoba hit her with something on her
cheek and in retaliation, Chiamaka stabbed
her on the neck with a sharp object which
resulted in her bleeding to death,” said a
witness
Chiamaka was said to have fled the scene
on noticing that her colleague was dead but
was later arrested through the efforts of the
Division Police Officer of Ndiegoro, Crescent
Mammah, who detailed his men to go after
her.
When contacted, the state Police Public
Relations Officer, Geoffrey Ogbonna, said he
was yet to be informed about the incident.
