A female Senior Secondary 3 student of Akoko Anglican Grammar School, Arigidi Akoko, in Akoko North-West Local Government Area of Ondo State (name withheld) has been arrested by the state police command for allegedly stabbing her male colleague, Habib Salau, to death.
The incident reportedly occurred following an argument between the two outside the school premises after school hours.
The state Commissioner of Police, Mr. Abayomi Oladipupo, confirmed the arrest on Thursday while parading 12 other suspected criminals at the command’s headquarters in Akure.
Abayomi stated that the matter had been transferred to the Criminal Investigation Department of the command and that a thorough investigation would follow.
The CP said, “The suspect is with us and the matter has been with the CID and we shall begin the investigation.”
He further noted that the 12 suspects were allegedly involved in crimes such as murder, arson, stealing, attempted robbery, armed robbery, and burglary.
As the state prepares for the upcoming governorship election, the CP urged politicians to maintain peace, emphasizing that the command “would not tolerate any act of violence” before, during, or after the poll.
