Suspected armed robbers have reportedly stabbed a woman to death on her husband’s birthday, weeks before she and her family relocate to Canada.
The deceased, 41-year-old Oluwakemi Odugbesan, was attacked in the early hours of April 10th around 6 am while returning from a vigil.
Odugbesan was reportedly mugged and stabbed multiple times on the chest and rib regions in an attempt to snatch her phone and handbag.
Sources said the deceased, her husband and three children were billed to relocate to Canada in few weeks before her unfortunate death.
It was gathered her attackers were the ones who called her parents with her phone to inform them she was fatally injured.
Following the information, relatives were said to have raced to the scene and rushed the woman to a hospital on Oduntan Street, where she was pronounced dead.
Her murder was said to have thrown the entire community into panic with residents demanding an end to attacks by armed hoodlums who usually laid siege on commuters early in the mornings or at nightfall.
Spokesman for Lagos Police Command, Olumuyiwa Adejobi, said the case has been transferred to the homicide section, State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID) for discreet investigation.
