A tragic incident occurred in Ajah, Lagos, where a 28-year-old woman, identified as Juliet, reportedly lost her life following an argument that turned violent.
According to Punch, the confrontation began on Monday when Juliet allegedly damaged a man’s car by smashing its windshield during a dispute. Witnesses say the man, enraged by the act, reportedly called a group of local youths who then confronted Juliet. She was allegedly tied up and taken to an unfinished building, where she was beaten until she fell into a coma.
By the time neighbors became aware of the situation and tried to rush her to a hospital, she had already passed away.
A source described the incident as a needless tragedy, noting that while Juliet’s actions were wrong, they did not justify the violence that led to her death. The source emphasized that involving law enforcement would have been the appropriate response.
Another security official suggested that Juliet may have been under the influence of alcohol, which could have contributed to the escalation of the confrontation.
Police reportedly arrived at the scene soon after the incident. Three suspects, including the man’s wife, have been arrested, and the case has been transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID) in Panti for further investigation. Lagos Police spokesperson Abimbola Adebisi confirmed the arrests and assured the public that the case is being thoroughly handled.
This is not an isolated case. Earlier this year, a 23-year-old man in Alimosho was arrested for allegedly killing his girlfriend, and in June, a 19-year-old Nigerian artiste was reportedly beaten to death in Ghana after being accused of withholding business funds.
