The Delta State Police Command has arrested a suspect accused of stabbing a 100-level student of Southern Delta University, Oleh, and attempting to extort her family.
Police spokesperson, SP Bright Edafe, disclosed the incident in a statement posted on Thursday via his official X (formerly Twitter) account. He said the suspect lured the victim to the university auditorium, where he attacked her with a kitchen knife, stabbing her twice in the neck and chest. After the attack, the suspect reportedly used the victim’s phone to contact her father and demand a ransom.
The police have taken the suspect into custody. Edafe, while sharing a video of the suspect on Friday, described the incident as unfortunate and blamed it on “a lack of home training.” The victim’s condition was not immediately disclosed.
