An undergraduate of the Ladoke Akintola University of Technology (LAUTECH), Ogbomoso Abiodun Olabisi was on Wednesday paraded by the Oyo State Police Command for allegedly stabbing her boyfriend Lekan Adegun to death.
Mr Adegun, a graduate of the Department of Transport Management of the same institution, was waiting for his National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) call-up before the tragedy occurred.
Oyo State police commissioner Abiodun Odude, who paraded the suspects at a press conference in Ibadan, said the incident happened following a quarrel between the two as a result of petty jealousy.
According to Mr Odude, the two were cohabiting in Phoenix area, Stadium Road, Ogbomoso, when the incident happened.
“The incident happened around 8pm on November 21, 2018, following a quarrel arising from petty jealousy. The victim was later rushed to the Bowen University Teaching Hospital, Ogbomoso, but died before he could be attended to.
“The kitchen knife used to commit the murderous act has been recovered and the suspect has also been arraigned in court,” Odude said.
