The command’s Public Relations Officer, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, confirmed the arrest during an interview on Tuesday.

”The misunderstanding allegedly resulted in the suspect stabbing the late Bakarat with a kitchen knife at the left side of her ribs. She was immediately rushed to a nearby hospital where the doctors on duty confirmed her dead,” he said.
Mr Hundeyin said that the police visited the scene of the crime, recovered exhibits and took photographs.
He said that Bakarat’s corpse had been deposited at the morgue for autopsy and preservation.
