Lagos – A 49-year-old, Lawrence Itakpe, has been arraigned before a Yaba Magistrates’ Court, Lagos State, for allegedly killing his wife, Rebecca, at their house in the Ajah area of the state.
It was gathered that the suspect and the deceased, who were married for 11 years with two kids, had an argument over sachet water.
In the process, the suspect rushed into the kitchen and returned with a kitchen knife, with which he allegedly stabbed his wife multiple times in the chest and neck.
A security guard was reported to have knocked on the couple’s door while the argument was on, but the defendant allegedly refused to open the door.
The police prosecutor, Inspector Haruna Magaji, told the court that the defendant committed the offence on December 5, 2022.
