“The incident happened around 12.10 am last Friday,” said Oluwole Kazeem, a resident of the area. “Felix lived on Mission Street, Tolu Olodi, Apapa. The lady was well known to him. She even came to his house to call him, and they went out together. It was at the back of the Phase II Hotel that a fight ensued between them.
“It was possible that they had gone into the hotel and had an affair which led to a misunderstanding. But we learnt that around noon, the girl stabbed him, and he was thereafter rushed to a private hospital on Bale Street where he later died.”
According to the police report, the suspect has been detained while police operatives have visited the private hospital and evacuated the corpse.
“At about 5 pm, the victim died at the hospital,” the police said. “The lady was thereafter arrested and detained. She has been transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department, Yaba, while further investigation is ongoing.”
Police sources also said an autopsy would be conducted on Felix before releasing his corpse to his family.
