The Lagos State Police Command has apprehended 19-year-old Fatimo Agboke in connection with the fatal stabbing of 20-year-old Faruk Azeez in the Ijegun area of Lagos.
On September 9, 2024, at approximately 9:20 pm, an argument between Agboke and Azeez escalated into a violent altercation.
During the fight, Agboke allegedly stabbed Azeez in the neck with a broken bottle, inflicting grievous injuries.
In an attempt to rush Azeez to the hospital for urgent medical attention, his father was unable to save his son’s life. Azeez succumbed to his injuries and was pronounced dead.
