Woman Stabs Lover To Death Over Feeding Allowance

A 20-year-old woman, Gift Wahab, stabbed her lover, Ebi Amade, 28, to death at their residence on Fasasi Street, Ajegunle, Apapa, on Thursday, March 19.

According to Punch, the suspect had been living with Ebi since 2013, after she dropped out of secondary school. The two reportedly had a child in 2014, who died in December after a brief sickness.

The couple had gone on an outing on Thursday when an argument ensued in the afternoon over feeding allowance.

Wahab was said to have stabbed the 28-year-old to death when they got home. Neighbours alerted police and she was arrested.

The suspect told Punch she did not intend to kill her lover, adding that she acted in anger.

She said, “We have been together since 2013. My father died and I dropped out of school when I was in SSS 3, and that was when we started dating. On Thursday, we went out for an event. As we were returning home, I said he should hand me the key to the house and my feeding allowance, but he said no. He explained that he had no money for our feeding. Then he started to abuse me. I told him I was going home, and that he should not bother about the money again. That was how he punched me in the face and attacked me while we were still on the road. I left him and went to look for a hammer, which I used to break the door. That night, when he came in, I was still angry. I got a knife which I used to stab him. I didn’t intend to kill him. I was just annoyed over what happened in the afternoon.”

A police source revealed Ebi was stabbed to death on the right side of the neck and the knife used to commit the crime has been recovered.

Speaking on the incident, he said, “The couple met each other at a night club in 2013 and had been dating since then. They were not legally married. They went out on Thursday and probably got drunk in the process. When they returned, there was an argument and a fight began. The suspect ran to the kitchen and grabbed a knife. She stabbed her lover in the right side of the neck, and he was rushed to a hospital, where he died.”

The suspect is in police custody while further investigations are ongoing.

  • Eishhhhhhhh!!! Every day killings over very trivial issues. Is this how she would end her life? When a person has no ambitions, the next thing is to look for an excuse to drop out of school then if it’s a woman, look for a man to leach off of and then become useless to themselves and the society @ large. Nawao. Now she would end up in Jail smh.
