The gruesome murder of Silverbird television employee, Aishat Noble Mustapha on Saturday 14th March, soon after she returned home from work is still sending shock waves to the media community.
Viral reports claimed she was stabbed eleven times, however, an eyewitness who resides in her neigbhourhood in Ogudu GRA, Lagos, has now shared the true story with YNaija.
The eyewitness said the following:
“It happened around 8pm on Saturday night. She had gone in after returning from work, and then this man visited her. No one paid attention until we started hearing arguments.
The guy also resides in the estate, he is a married man and we could hear her threatening him, saying she will tell his wife about the pregnancy she had for him. The man was shouting back, and he got angry when she said she will report to his wife….but after a while, the argument stopped and there was no more shouting. Moments later, she ran out of the house with scars all over her body, and while running she fell into the gutter.”
How Neighbors found her:
“That was when neighbors found her. She was still breathing so she was rushed to a specialist hospital along Ogudu road then to the General Hospital in Gbagada, but no one wanted to admit her without a police report…it was when she was taken to the police station, that she gave up the ghost.”
The knife that was used in stabbing her:
We saw a knife with blood in the compound but by the time the police came to pick up the knife, they didn’t see it again, someone had taken it but I don’t know who.
The suspect:
The guy (married man) was with neighbors all through, running up and down with the good Samaritans but he has now been arrested and is now in detention at Area F Police station close to the estate. This is so sad, she was a young promising and beautiful woman, she lost her sister just last year. It’s like it is the guy that rented the apartment for her.
You are right Tolu Ibiyemi, Good advice u spoke well. But there is this saying from a wise elderly friend, “Any single girl that stays alone,without the sister, the brother,friend(female- might be her colleague or school mate) staying with her in a mini-apartment is not a responsible girl….and I don’t advice any guy to get into relationship with such”. Don’t get me wrong am not supporting the UGLY act or castigating the deceased but to stop future serial murders. Ladies should do these;1.Ladies should not stay alone in an apartment-it breeds illicit , should stay with their aunties or uncles, be in a good and Godly relationship(try as much as possible to abstain from SEX-its possible), read good “Emotional intelligence”books-understand people and their temperament you will understand LIFE, stay away from emotional imbalance people, dont collect gifts from someone u know u will dump at Day 48, get busy with other good things- Mscs, Seminars, Certifications, e.t.c So SAD. may her soul rest in peace
when will we ever get it right in this fucked up and messy country called Nigeria? how can u measure someone’s life with that of a stupid police report? what are these stupid doctors ever taught?until u get a police report someone will not be treated? Nigeria is seriously messed up.
so sad morale of the story you cant eat your cake and have it. may her soul rest in peace.
