According to the spokesperson of the state police command, DSP Abimbola Oyeyemi, the suspect was arrested following a complaint by the father of the deceased, Alhaji Ambali Yinusa, that his son-in-law, Sobola Olatunji, had a misunderstanding with his wife, Momudat Sobola, which led to a physical fight between them. He further stated that in the process, Sobola Olatunji took a knife and stabbed his wife at the back.
Upon the report, detectives were dispatched to the scene where the suspect was promptly arrested and the victim was quickly rushed to the hospital for treatment. But while the treatment was going on, the victim gave up the ghost.
