A 21-year-old woman, identified as Bina, has been taken into custody by operatives of the Delta State Police Command for allegedly stabbing her 34-year-old partner to death during a heated quarrel.
The grim incident was confirmed by the command’s spokesperson, Superintendent Bright Edafe, who shared details in a video posted on his official X handle on Wednesday.
Police investigations revealed that the suspect had been living with the deceased since the age of 17, and their relationship had produced two children. In a police interview, Bina reportedly confessed to killing the man after an argument escalated into violence.
Superintendent Edafe, visibly shaken by the circumstances, said: “Now she had a fight with him, stabbed the guy in the heart and killed him. Who do you blame? The girl, the society or her parents who couldn’t raise her and gave her out at 17 without a bride price? Her English is so fluent, and she stopped schooling at SS2.”
The Delta Police Command confirmed that the young woman is in custody and will be charged after ongoing investigations are concluded. The case has sparked renewed discussions on early cohabitation, social neglect, and domestic violence among young couples in the state.
