A 24-year-old woman
Blessing Edet has been arrested for allegedly stabbing her fiancé, Edet Ebong,
33, to death with a kitchen knife over his demands for sex.
Blessing, who resides at Ogombo village in the
Lekki area of Lagos state, had been dating Ebong for the past 18 months and
they were on the verge of finalising their marital plans, New Telegraph
reports.
Recounting what happened, the suspect said that on
August 18, Ebong, who worked for Akwa Ibom State Transport Company (AKTC), had
come in drunk and asked for Indomie noodles, which she prepared for him. After
eating, he asked about the engagement ring he had given to her. She then told
him it was on the table.
Later, when they lay down to sleep, he started
making advances for sex and she told him
she was tired after a hectic day. He
got really angry and started beating her.
“He
broke the standing mirror in the room and injured me above my left eye with the
broken glass. In defence, I ran to pick up the kitchen knife I had used while
preparing ‘Indomie’ noodles for him. I mistakenly stabbed him in the stomach.

“After
stabbing him, the fight continued. He went under the bed, brought out a cutlass
and said he was going to kill me. It was at this point that my younger brother
who had been trying to stop us, but to no avail, rushed out to call neighbours.
“My landlord heard
the shout and rushed into our room. He saw Edet bleeding while I was holding a
knife. He alerted the police and Edet was rushed to the hospital. Unfortunately
he died two days after,” she said.
Blessing, who claimed to be an orphan,
explained that she had asked him to move in with her six months back when he
had trouble with his accommodation.
“Sincerely,
I stabbed him unintentionally. Even while he was in the hospital, I prayed he
would survive. I don’t know what came over him that day. We had good plans for
the future. He was not just a lover but also a brother,” she added.
Giving account of what happened, a resident,
who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the couple started fighting around
12am and 1am over noodles which her boyfriend asked her to prepare.
The resident said: “She prepared it without adding sardine which he had requested. The
argument led to a fight. Blessing later stabbed Obong. She shouted ‘I will stab
you with knife’. And that was what she did. She ripped open the man’s stomach.”
Another resident claimed that Blessing was a
prostitut, who rented a room in the area and started bearing Amaka, saying: “She has no other work than to be sleeping
with men and clubbing.”

When contacted, the state police public
relations officer, DSP Patricia Amadin, said she was still trying to access the
full details of the incident.
A source, however, disclosed that the case has
since been transferred to the State Criminal Investigation and Intelligence
Department, Yaba for further investigation.
