Anita Ofili confesses to the murder of her friend, Glory Okon, stating that she had been waiting for 10 years for revenge after snatching her boyfriend. 
According to a report by Vanguard, Ofili claimed she took the action on Okon at her apartment in Greenville Estate, Ajah, Lagos State because she stole her boyfriend a decade ago. On Sunday, March 26, at 1:20 pm, a cry for help was heard from Ofili’s one-room apartment in the building, prompting other residents to intervene. Upon breaking the door down, they discovered Ofili stabbing Okon in the neck with a kitchen knife. Sadly, Okon was rushed to Lagos Island General Hospital but died from blood loss. How Ofili Orchestrated the Murder of Her Friend One of the tenants of the building, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, said; “The landlord’s daughter was the one that heard the scream. She peeped through the window and saw a masked person stabbing a lady. She rushed and called her father, who alerted other tenants that forced the door open, only to discover that the masked person was Anita Ofili. The whole room was filled with blood. We discovered that the victim was still breathing. We had to tie Ofili’s legs and hands to prevent her from escaping. Before the arrival of the Police, Ofili did not show any sign of remorse. She said she would explain to the Police what happened. She claimed the lady in question was her friend and that her action was in revenge for what her friend did to her.” According to reports, the suspect and the deceased had been close friends for nearly 20 years and had studied at the same college or university. However, they had a disagreement over boyfriend snatching that caused them to drift apart for 10 years until they made amends two weeks ago. “Glory and I had been good friends for years, but she betrayed that friendship by snatching my boyfriend,” Ofili stated. Police Confirm the Murder Confirming the incident, the spokesperson of the Lagos State Police Command, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, said; “At 5.50p.m., on March 26, a resident of Greenville Estate came to the station to report that he heard someone screaming from the room of one Annie Ofili, that himself and other tenants quickly rushed to the room, forced the door opened only to meet Annie on top of Glory Okon, who came to visit her. Upon the information, a team of detectives moved to the scene. The suspect was arrested, the knife recovered, while the corpse was deposited at the Mainland General Hospital mortuary, Yaba, for autopsy and preservation. The suspect has been transferred to the SCIID, Yaba, for discreet investigation.”
