A suspect of a nigerian origin is alleged to have stabbed a colleague in an altercation in what is believed to be a plot to steal her iPhone XR.
The victim, also a nigerian by the name Ifeoluwa, was a 300-level economics student at the institution and lived off campus with the suspect.
According to Police sources, who spoke on condition of anonymity said the suspect confessed that despite being in a fling with the lady, he had a plot to acquire the victims phone.
The source further said, “The suspect confessed even before her parents that on that ill-fated day, he approached the victim to transfer some films from her phone to his iPad.
“The unsuspecting female student obliged but didn’t allow him into her room. She told the suspect that her phone battery was low.
The suspect then excused himself to come back later with his power bank to charge the victim’s phone.
“He came back to the victim’s room very late and was allowed into the room where he grabbed the victim by the neck and stabbed her in the chest with a knife he brought along.
The suspect then took the victim’s phone, destroyed her SIM card and inserted his own SIM card.
“Police findings showed that he would make use of the phone during the day and hid it inside an unfinished structure close to the hostel.”
The SIM card in the phone was, however, said to be active, which the police used in tracing the suspect and arrest him.
