A lady identified as Anita Ofili last Sunday reportedly killed Glory Okon, her best friend. Anita, who has since been arrested, stated without any regret that she delayed 10 years before taking her revenge.
She allegedly acknowledged stabbing her in her apartment in the Ajah axis of Lagos State’s Greenville Estate because she had taken her lover about ten years earlier.
They broke up after the incident, and they just recently reconnected two weeks later. On Sunday at 1:20 pm, Ofili’s self-contained apartment let out a call for help that woke up the neighbourhood.
Forcing the door open, neighbours discovered Ofili slitting Okon’s neck with a kitchen knife. One of the co-tenants Said that the scream was heard by the landlord’s daughter.
Added the eyewitness: “She peeped through the window and saw a masked person stabbing a lady. She rushed and called her father, who alerted other tenants who 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”.
Ofili explained after her arrest why she killed her friend with whom she attended the same university and had been close for two decades.
Said she: “Glory and I had been good friends for years, but she betrayed that friendship by snatching my boyfriend. I had the intention of marrying him. Her action strained the relationship and we went our separate ways for 10 years. We only reconciled two weeks ago. I invited her to my house and the rest you know”.
