Female Worker Stabbed To Death By A Lover?

A 26-year-old female staff of Silverbird Cinemas, Aishat Noble-Mustapha, was stabbed to death in her Ogudu GRA residence in Lagos. She was allegedly stabbed in the stomach by a lover following a disagreement.

Punch reports;

The Kogi State indigene had reportedly closed from work on Saturday, March 14, around 7.30pm, and got home, when she was murdered.

A source, who pleaded anonymity, said she was stabbed about 11 times in the stomach.

He said, “She works with the Silverbird Cinemas in Ikeja. She was even at work throughout last week. She closed from work on Saturday and when she got home, we learnt she was stabbed in the stomach 11 times by a lover, who she had a disagreement with. We don’t know the motive for the crime, but we learnt it was a man she knew that killed her.”

When contacted, a worker at the customers service of Silverbird Cinemas, Ikeja, confirmed that the lady was his colleague.

He said, “Yes, she was working here. We discovered that she didn’t come to work the day after the incident and when we made enquiries, we were told she was killed at her home. She had just alighted from her car and opened the gate to her house when she was killed.”

The Silverbird Television, in a report on Tuesday, said she struggled with her assailant.

It said, “She fought bravely to stay alive from what is left from the pool of blood (at the entrance into the house) and the gutter in which she fell as she struggled. Her flat was under lock and key while her car was parked on the permises.”

It was said that the victim’s parents were not based in Lagos and she had stayed with a guardian before moving to Ogudu.

The Police Public Relations Officer, Lagos State command, Kenneth Nwosu, who confirmed the incident, said, “The suspect has been arrested. The case file and the suspect are going to the State Criminal Investigation Department for further probe. The police have also deposited the corpse in a mortuary.”
