I waited 10 years to revenge” — Lady confesses to murder of friend who snatched her boyfriend

 Anita Ofili acknowledges killing her friend Glory Okon and says she has been waiting for justice for the past ten years after taking her partner.

According to Ofili's account, Okon was attacked at her residence in Greenville Estate, Ajah, Lagos State because she had stolen her lover ten years before, according to a story from Vanguard.

On Sunday, March 26, at 1:20 pm, Ofili's one-room apartment in the building sounded a distress call, prompting other inhabitants to enter.

When they answered the door, Ofili was stabbing Okon in the neck with a kitchen knife. Sadly, Okon died at Lagos Island General Hospital after losing too much blood.

One of the tenants of the building, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, said;

The landlord’s daughter was the one that heard the scream. She peeped through the window and saw a masked person stabbing a lady. She rushed and called her father, who alerted other tenants that forced the door open, only to discover that the masked person was Anita Ofili.

The whole room was filled with blood. We discovered that the victim was still breathing. We had to tie Ofili’s legs and hands to prevent her from escaping. Before the arrival of the Police, Ofili did not show any sign of remorse.

She said she would explain to the Police what happened. She claimed the lady in question was her friend and that her action was in revenge for what her friend did to her.”

Reports state that the deceased and the suspect were longtime acquaintances who attended the same college or institution.

Ten years later, after drifting away, they reconnected two weeks ago after having an argument about boyfriend stealing.

Glory and I had been good friends for years, but she betrayed that friendship by snatching my boyfriend,” Ofili stated.

Confirming the incident, the spokesperson of the Lagos State Police Command, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, said;

At 5.50p.m., on March 26, a resident of Greenville Estate came to the station to report that he heard someone screaming from the room of one Annie Ofili, that himself and other tenants quickly rushed to the room, forced the door opened only to meet Annie on top of Glory Okon, who came to visit her.

Upon the information, a team of detectives moved to the scene. The suspect was arrested, the knife recovered, while the corpse was deposited at the Mainland General Hospital mortuary, Yaba, for autopsy and preservation. The suspect has been transferred to the SCIID, Yaba
