In a heart-wrenching turn of events, a 19-year-old secondary school student, Salma Yunusa, met a tragic end as she was fatally stabbed, allegedly by her co-tenant, in Kubwa town located in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).
The deceased, Salma Yunusa, hailed from Ajagwumu in Dekina LGA, Kogi State, and was residing under the care of her elder sister, Bilikisu Yunusa, in the Byazhin area of Abuja. The shocking incident unfolded during a dispute over hanging clothes on a rope, highlighting the devastating consequences of a seemingly trivial disagreement.
Reports indicate that the altercation escalated to violence, leading to Salma's untimely demise at the hands of her neighbor, Immaculate Chukwudi. Immaculate, who allegedly confessed to the police, has since been taken into custody as investigations into the incident continue.
A poignant video capturing the aftermath of the tragedy, shared by LIB, depicts the somber scene of Salma's lifeless body on a gurney surrounded by grieving onlookers, serving as a stark reminder of the profound loss experienced by her loved ones.
Josephine Adeh, the spokesperson for the FCT police command, confirmed the incident, underscoring that the matter remains under investigation. Adeh assured that the suspect would be promptly charged to court as authorities work diligently to seek justice for the victim and her family.
The devastating loss of Salma Yunusa serves as a sobering reminder of the urgent need for conflict resolution and the prevention of senseless violence within communities. As the investigation progresses, the hope remains that those responsible for this tragic loss will be held accountable for their actions, bringing a semblance of closure to Salma's grieving loved ones.
