Friday, November 7, 2025 - A sad incident has been reported in the Ajah area of Lagos, where a 28-year-old lady identified as Juliet lost her life following an argument that escalated into violence.
According to Punch, Juliet had a dispute with a
yet-to-be-identified man on Monday and, in the heat of the argument, she
smashed the windshield of his car.
Witnesses said the man became angered and allegedly went to
call some boys in the area. The group reportedly attacked Juliet, tied her up,
and took her to an uncompleted building where she was beaten until she went
into a coma.
By the time people around got wind of what was happening and
attempted to rush her to the hospital, she was already dead.
A source who spoke about the incident described it as a
needless tragedy. The source said Juliet may have acted wrongly by breaking the
car windshield, but that the situation should never have led to her death.
According to the source, the lawful step would have been to involve the police
rather than resorting to violence.
Another security source in the area claimed Juliet may have
been under the influence of alcohol during the altercation, which may have
contributed to the situation escalating the way it did.
Police officers were said to have arrived at the scene
shortly after the incident. Three suspects have been arrested, including the
man’s wife. The case has now been transferred to the State Criminal
Investigation Department (SCID), Panti, for further investigation.
The Lagos Police spokesperson, Abimbola Adebisi, confirmed
the development and assured that the case is being handled.
This is not the first time misunderstandings have turned
deadly. Earlier in the year, a 23-year-old man in Alimosho was arrested for
allegedly beating his girlfriend to death. In June, a 19-year-old upcoming
Nigerian artiste was also beaten to death in Ghana after being accused of
withholding business funds.
