Man stabs lover to death over sex

A civil servant with the Ministry of Education in Ekiti State (name withheld) has allegedly stabbed his lover to death during an argument which arose between the duo after sex.

The suspect was said to have taken the 24 year old lady, Miss. Tosin Alabi, to a hotel along Ajilosun Road in Ado Ekiti on Saturday , March 24 to catch some fun. 

Our correspondent gathered that  an argument arose between the two lovers after they had had sex and the man refused to settle Tosin as earlier agreed. 

The lady was said to have insisted that her boyfriend must pay her what he promised before having sex with her and this led to a fight.

The man, who was said to have been slightly drunk grabbed a bottle, broke it and stabbed his girlfriend on the neck and the buttocks.

Sympathizers and some of the hotel workers were said to have rushed the lady to a nearby hospital but there was no doctor to attend to her and she was taken to the Ekiti State University Teaching Hospital, Ado Ekiti where she was confirmed dead. 

The boyfriend was said to have escaped and went into hiding since the incident happened and has not been found. 

Another source told journalists that a man took the lady to the hotel for clubbing but another man hijacked her and had sex with her. The fight which led to Tosin’s death was said to have broken out between her and the man who hijacked her at the hotel. 

The Police Public Relations Officer in the state, Mr. Victor Babayemi, told our correspondent that he was not aware of the incident because he had been away from the state for more than a week.

He promised to send the telephone  number of a police officer for reaction to the incident but he was yet to do so as at the time of filing this report. 

One of the brothers of the deceased, Mr. Paul Owolabi, told  journalists that he gathered from the hotel that the man who took Tosin to the hotel stabbed her to death as a result of dispute over how much to pay her after having sex with her.

Owolabi accused the police of trying to cover the man who committed the crime but he said that the family would not allow this to happen. 

He said. “By now, the police ought to have made some arrest including the owner of the hotel. The police said the father of Tosin’s boy friend was arrested but was later released. We don’t know why the police should hurriedly release the man whose son stabbed our sister to death when the killer is still in the hiding.

“We  are suspecting a foul play. The police are not making any effort to get to the root of the matter and we are disappointed.  We want the police to do a thorough job, the killer must be apprehended and prosecuted.
