Woman In Police Net For Stabbing Lover Death Over Refusal To Pay Daughter’s Birthday

A 23-year-old woman is currently in police net for stabbing her live-in-lover to death over his refusal to pay for their one-year-old daughter’s birthday ceremony.

The homicide detectives section from Surulere Division of the Lagos State Police Command arrested the lady, Stella Peter, 23, for stabbing a man who is her lover, Mr Bala Haruna, 25, to death.

The Police Public Relations Officer (PRO) of the command, DSP Bala Elkana, on Tuesday, September 17, disclosed that this was because Haruna refused to release money for the birthday party of the child Stella had for him who just clocked one year.
