22-year-old lady found dead in room, boyfriend arrested

 


Family members of 22-year-old Kabirat Sobola, a former student of Moshood Abiola Polytechnic, Abeokuta, who was allegedly stabbed to death in her room on February 4, 2023, are currently seeking justice for the deceased.

 

According to reports, Kabirat was found dead on her bed with a deep cut on her neck and chest and a knife beside her. Her phone was also missing.

 

Mrs Sobola, a family member, accused the police of not doing enough on the matter, saying, "The police have neglected these parts without mentioning them in their report." She went on to say that Kabirat's boyfriend, who is currently in detention concerning the case, should not be indicted as the family believes there is no reason to do so.

 

"When she was declared missing for days, her boyfriend went to make a complaint at the police station on Friday, March 3," said Mrs Sobola. "

 

According to the DPO, the boyfriend met him at the counter, saying he was looking for his girlfriend, the DPO suspected him because it was not up to 24 hours. So the DPO detained him."

 

Sobola further stated that the police did not bother to look for the missing phone or investigate the knife. "From their findings about the guy, there is nothing that indicts the guy. They didn’t talk about the phone, knife, or anything," she said.

 

Meanwhile, the state Police Public Relations Officer, SP Abimbola Oyeyemi, confirmed the incident, saying that the matter has been taken over by the command's Homicide Section.

 

He added that from the investigation conducted, it was discovered that it was the boyfriend who killed Kabirat. "It seems they had fought before so, it seems he went to the girl’s house and killed her," he said.

 

The family, however, is insisting on justice for Kabirat. "We want justice for the girl, justice must be done," said Mrs Sobola. The case has been transferred to the Homicide Section, and another proceeding is scheduled for April 27.
