A 19-Year-Old Boy Arrested for Fatal Stabbing of his Girlfriend Over N5000. A 19-year-old, Muhammad Ibrahim, has been apprehended by the Bauchi State Police Command for the brutal killing of his girlfriend in the Bayan Gari area of Bauchi. According to SP Ahmed Mohammad Wakil, the command’s spokesperson, the tragedy unfolded after an argument over N5000, during which Muhammad stabbed Emmanuella Ande to death in a hotel room.
Muhammad had encountered Emmanuella, a Plateau State native, on social media earlier in the year. Prior to the incident, he pilfered approximately N400,000 from his father to lavish on Emmanuella, with whom he had previously arranged to meet in Port Harcourt, Rivers State.
Detectives from Operations Restore Peace (ORP) apprehended Muhammad on December 18, 2023, following a distress call reporting the stabbing at Happiness Garden hotel. The incident involved Muhammad stabbing Emmanuella in the upper chest, and in the ensuing chaos, another individual, Zaharaddeen Adamu, was also wounded.
Prompt police intervention prevented a potential mob attack on Muhammad. The victim was rushed to Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University Teaching Hospital, where she was declared dead. Zaharadeen, injured during the rescue, received treatment and was discharged. Muhammad, too, was treated at the Police Clinic and discharged, currently undergoing investigation.
During interrogation, Muhammad admitted to meeting Emmanuella on Facebook and confessed to stealing N400,000 from his father for their meeting. The tragic altercation occurred when Emmanuella demanded the repayment of N5000 owed by Muhammad for previous dealings.
A knife used in the incident was recovered from the suspect. The Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO) stated that the suspect would face court charges upon the completion of the investigation.
