A 25-year-old man, Michael Ikuedowoni, has died after his girlfriend, Augustina Mowari, allegedly stabbed him during a dispute over infidelity in Okitipupa Local Council, Ondo State.
The tragic incident occurred over the weekend when Mowari reportedly used a pair of scissors on Michael during a “heated argument” in their shared apartment.
Sources indicate the couple had been engaged in recurring disputes over “trust issues” that ultimately led to the fatal altercation.
A close friend of the deceased, who requested anonymity, stated that the conflict escalated after Mowari “accused Ikuedowoni of sleeping with other women.”
The source explained, “Both of them were struggling with fidelity issues. That day, Mowari accused Ikuedowoni of unfaithfulness, which angered him and led to a heated argument. In the heat of the moment, Mowari grabbed a pair of scissors and stabbed him in the leg.”
Ikuedowoni was rushed to a nearby hospital where he received initial treatment and was discharged. However, his condition “worsened shortly after.”
The source added, “His leg became swollen, and he was rushed back to the hospital on Sunday night. Despite the doctors’ efforts to save him, he passed away.”
Confirming the incident, the police spokesperson in the state, DSP Olayinka Ayanlade, stated that the suspect “had been arrested and was in custody.”
He added, “There was an argument between the two, which led to the suspect stabbing the victim with scissors. He later died in the hospital. The suspect is in our custody, and the case will be charged to court after investigation.”
