Lagos State Police Command has arrested a 23-year-old woman identified as Stella Peter for stabbing the father of her daughter, Mr. Bala Haruna, to death because he refused to release money for their baby’s birthday party.

“An argument ensued between them which turned violent and the woman used a kitchen knife to stab the man in the back which led to his death.

“The woman accused the man of refusing to release money for their daughter’s birthday party.”

Homicide detectives from the State Criminal Investigation Department, Yaba, have taken over the investigation.

The suspect allegedly confessed to the crime and would be charged to court for murder.
