Woman who allegedly stabbed an expectant mother strips in police station to escape arrest

A woman who allegedly stabbed an expectant mother and attempted abducting a 10 year old Tuesday stripped herself naked in a police station Lagos. The incident occurred inside the premises of Ajegunle police station, Ajeromi/Ifelodu Local Government Area (LGA).

It was gathered that the woman stripped to avoid been arrested for the offences she allegedly committed.

Sources said the woman who identified herself as an Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP), abducted the primary school pupil at Barra School.

However, the little girl who did not know the woman raised alarm and cried for help, but the woman claimed she was her child and that she was taking her to her office at Area ‘B’ Command, Apapa

Eye witnesses said the attention of some passers-by was attracted, following the pupil’s fruitless effort to free herself from Comfort’s grip.

The woman whom residents identified as Comfort stood her grounds and threatened to attack anybody that tried to rescue the little girl.

An eye witness who pleaded anonymity said, “out of curiosity, we decided to find out what the problem is and the girl said she did not know the woman. When we asked the woman, she said she was taking her child to Area B command. A man asked the girl to give us her mother’s telephone number which she did. We put a call across to her mother and she rushed to the scene”.

It was gathered that when the girl’s mother arrived and identified her daughter, there was a mob action on the suspect. She was at the verge of being lynched when a patrol team from Ajegunle police station rescued her. She was later taken to the station.

At the police station, the woman was discovered to be incoherent during interrogation and before policemen could know what was happening, she stripped, threatening to deal with anybody who tried to detain her.

Sources said the woman who is suspected to have mental challenges had earlier hit another woman with a bucket because she demanded for N350 the suspect owed her for the kerosene she bought from her.

The source said the woman was forcefully taken to the Psychiatrist Hospital, Yaba, where she is currently receiving treatment.

A resident of Olubukola Street, where the suspect allegedly resides who went to the police station was said to have disclosed that Comfort was mentally deranged and had stabbed an expectant mother during a fight in the neighborhood at the weekend and fled.
