Police in Ondo state command have arrested a 34-year-old man, Monday Chukwu, who was alleged to have stabbed his friend, Kefa Ofando, to death over N2,000 debt.
It was gathered that Chukwu and Ofando were arguing over the money when the argument degenerated into a fight between the two friends and Ofando was stabbed by his friend in the neck.
The incident took place at Akintola village in the Odigbo local government area of the state. They used scissors to stab their 30-year-old friend, Ofando, who died before getting to the hospital, having lost much blood from the bleeding.
Speaking on the arrest of the suspect, during the parade of Chukwu and other suspected criminals, the State Commissioner of Police, Oladipo Abayomi, said what started as an argument degenerated into the killing of Ofando.
The Police boss said, “On the 20th of September, 2024, operatives of the Ondo State Police Command attached to the Odigbo Divisional Police Headquarters, acting on a complaint, swiftly responded and arrested one Monday Chukwu, a 34-year-old resident of Akintola village in the Odigbo area of the state.
“The suspect allegedly stabbed one Kefa Ofando, aged 30, to death while discrete investigation revealed that the deceased had borrowed the suspect the sum of two thousand Naira.
“While demanding the money a few days later, it led to an argument, during which the suspect stabbed the victim with scissors on his neck.”
He, however, said, “Upon arrival at the scene, the crime scene experts recovered a pair of scissors, while a medical practitioner confirmed Kefa Ofando’s death.
“Investigation is ongoing, and the suspect will soon be charged to court upon conclusion. However, this underscores the importance of staying away from violent individuals and the need to act with restraint, especially when angry or under pressure.”
