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.
‘He removed me
from the streets’
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?“
Vanguard gathered that when the late Amadu was
stabbed, he attempted to remove the knife and in
the process, fell into a drain.
A mob reportedly attempted to lynch Gift, but for
the arrival of policemen from Layeni Division.
The mob, Gift said, “descen-ded on me, saying
they would kill me the same way I killed Ebi. I
passed out when one of them landed a blow on my
nose, which was still bleeding.
“The next time I opened my eyes, I found myself in
the Police Station.
“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.
