It was reliably gathered that the suspect, Zubairu and the pregnant woman live in the Idogido community of Okene local government area of Kogi state.

An eyewitness said the deceased was rushed to a hospital in the area but later died as a result of excessive bleeding.

It was gathered that a friend of the deceased had visited her last Monday when the incident happened. Muhammed and the friend were said to be talking about a lost mobile phone when the suspect interfered.

The deceased reportedly cautioned Zubairu not to meddle in their discussion and afterwards an altercation ensued between both.

The suspect was said to have become enraged and descended on the woman with the scissors.

According to a source, the suspect is well known to be violent by residents of the area.

“On that day, the victim and her friend were chatting and he interrupted. She told him to mind his business and that infuriated him. He removed a pair of scissors he hid in his trousers, stabbed her in the stomach and fled.

“The woman lost a lot of blood. She was pronounced dead on getting to the hospital. She was pregnant, but was not living with her husband,” the source explained.

Zubairu, said to be in his 30, was later arrested by detectives from the Okene Police Division while the deceased has been buried according to Islamic rites.

He said the case had been transferred to the State Department of Criminal Investigation, adding that the suspect would be charged to court after the completion of investigation.
