Woman Stabs Robber To Death

A middle-aged woman has landed in a Lagos
hospital, after robbers stormed her rented
apartment on the Lagos Island, during which she
stabbed one of the assailants to death.
Sources according to PUNCH Metro learnt that the
woman, identified simply as Adenike, and her
family were attacked on Tuesday at about 2am on
Eyin Iga Street.
It was gathered that the robbers, who were armed
with knives and cutlasses, reportedly gained
entrance into the house after damaging the gates.
When the robbers got to Adenike’s apartment,
there was a struggle during which one of the
robbers, identified as Quadri Iginla, cut her with a
knife.
Adenike was said to have wrenched the knife from
Iginla, and stabbed him in the stomach.
The robbery suspect reportedly lost balance and
fell off from the two-storey building.
Neighbours, who learnt of the robbery, were said to
have alerted the police from the Adeniji Adele
Division.
The other suspected robbers reportedly escaped
after the police got to the area.
The policemen were said to have rushed Iginla,
who was unconscious, to the Lagos Island General
Hospital, while Adenike was also taken by her
family to a private hospital.
When our correspondent got to the area on
Thursday, it was learnt that Iginla died in the
hospital.
Adenike’s husband, who declined to give his
name, said the robbers injured his wife in the hand
with a knife, adding that there was a struggle
during which Iginla was pushed off the building.
He said, “We cannot confirm the number of the
robbers. They entered my apartment at about 2am.
One of them injured my wife in the hand and there
was a struggle. As this went on, other people
called the police and a patrol van was sent to our
street.
