A 24-year-old girl, Miss Tosin Alabi, has reportedly been stabbed to death by her male partner over some unsolved issues.
Tosin,
an apprentice in a computer institute was stabbed by her boy
friend(name withheld at a popular hotel in Ado Ekiti a couple of days
ago.
Reasons why Tosin’s lover decided to sniff life out of her
girlfriend was not known as at the time of going to the press, but
Saturday Vanguard gathered that the two friends had gone to the hotel to
cool off but the male friend refused to fulfill the promise made to the
deceased.
Other clients in the hotel did not know when the trouble started between the lovers that it resulted to loss of a life.
According
to the elder brother of the deceased, Elder Owolabi Paul, who spoke to
journalists in Ado-Ekiti yesterday, the incident occurred on Saturday,
March 24, at a popular hotel in the town.
His words, “On Sunday,
March 24, a friend of Toyin called us to inform us that she was stabbed
to death with broken bottle at a hotel in Ado-Ekiti and that we should
go to the State Teaching Hospital to see her corpse in the hospital’s
morgue. We went there and confirmed her corpse.”
According to
him, findings at the hotel revealed that trouble broke out between the
lovers following alleged refusal of the boyfriend to fulfill an earlier
promise made to the girl before sex.
Tosin was said to have
challenged her boy friend on the need to redeem his pledge and demanded
that he fulfilled his earlier promise.
Saturday Vanguard further
gathered that the male friend shortly after this headed for empty
bottles with which he allegedly used to stab Toyin at the neck and
buttocks.
Consequently,the deep cut suffered by the deceased
resulted into profuse bleeding.She was said to have been rushed to a
nearby hospital but due to the absence of doctors to attend to her,
Tosin was rushed to the State Teaching Hospital where she finally gave
up the ghost.
The family of the deceased has pleaded with the
police and other security operatives to carry out a thorough
investigation into the mysterious death of their daughter.
According
to Elder Owolabi , police are yet to make any arrest since the killing
was reported at the Ologede Police Station, Ajilosun, Ado-Ekiti.
He
expressed his disappointment that the police had not invited the owner
of the hotel for questioning since the report was lodged since Sunday.
“By
now, the police ought to have been made some arrest including the owner
of the hotel. The police said the father of Tosin’s boy friend was
arrested but later released. We don’t know why they (police) should
release the father whose son stabbed our sister.
“We want the
police to do a thorough job; we are suspecting a foul play. The police
is not making any effort to get to the root of the matter and we are
disappointed,” the family’s spokesman lamented.
