The Delta State Police Command has arrested a 21-year-old woman for allegedly stabbing her partner to death.

It happened in Jakpa, Uvwie Local Government Area of the state during a domestic dispute when she used a knife to kill the victim.

The suspect, identified as Bina, hails from Bayelsa State and had been cohabiting with the deceased for about four years, with two children.

The victim was rushed to the hospital but was confirmed dead after much bleeding.

Recounting what happened, Bina told police investigators: “On Monday, we were not talking to each other. He got angry because I went to meet our neighbour to help me load a recharge card since he wasn’t responding to me.”

“He told me I should never go to our neighbour for anything. He then threatened to lock up the shop he opened for me. From there, the quarrel became serious and I used the knife to stab him,” she stated.

Confirming the incident, the Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Delta Command, SP Edafe Bright, described it as a disturbing case of domestic violence that turned fatal.

He described the incident as unfortunate and advised young people, especially women, to walk away from abusive or toxic relationships rather than resort to violence.

He said the suspect is in custody while investigation continues, after which she will be charged to court.
