Operatives of Ogun State Police command have arrested 35-year-old Dada Taiwo, for allegedly stabbing his girlfriend’s brother, Damilola Momoh, on the neck with broken bottle in Agbado, in Ifo local government area of the state.
The suspect stabbed Damilola, aged 34, during an argument over a phone the victim borrowed.
Confirming the arrest of Taiwo on Sunday, the command’s spokesperson, Omolola Odutola, said the incident was reported to the Agbado Division by Olaife Momoh, the girlfriend of the suspect.
Odutola stated that the victim had been rushed to Overcomer Hospital in Agbado for medical treatment and investigation is ongoing.
She said, “On the 21th of July, at about 2am, a woman named Olaife Momoh, residing at 11 Sowemimo Street, Akera, Agbado, Ogun State, reported to the station that her boyfriend, Dada Taiwo of 34 Crossing Road, Agbado, aged 35, had a dispute with her elder brother, Damilola Momoh, aged 34, over a phone her brother had borrowed.
“During the argument, the suspect, armed with broken bottle, stabbed her brother in the neck, causing severe injuries and profuse bleeding”.
Odutola, however, warned against uncontrollable anger and advised young people to report any incidents to the nearest police station to avoid taking the law into their own hands.
