Police in Delta State have arrested a 21-year-old woman, identified only as Lilian, in connection with the fatal stabbing of her partner.
The incident reportedly happened during a domestic dispute at White House area of Jakpa Road, Effurun, Uvwie Local Government Area of Delta State.
According to the Delta police spokesperson Bright Edafe, in a video on X, the suspect and the 34-year-old victim had been cohabiting for four years and had two children.
Lilian, who said the relationship started when she was 17 years old, allegedly confessed to stabbing her partner in the chest after their argument turned violent.
The caption of the reel shared the spokesman reads: “I just interviewed a 21 year old girl who has been cohabiting with a 34 yr old guy for the past four years, she has two children for him. If she’s 21yrs now, which means she started living with this guy since she was 17yrs. Now they had a fight with him, stabbed the guy in the heart and killed him. Who do you blame? The girl, the society or her parents who couldnt raise her and gave her out at 17 without a bride price? Her English is so fluent and she stopped schooling at SS2.”
