A 47-year-old Rachel Johnson has been stabbed to death while attempting to intervene in a fight among church members during a crusade in Abaranje, Ikotun.
A senior Police officer said that at about 3 a.m. on Saturday, the deceased’s husband, Okerube Johnson, came to Ikotun Police Station to report that his wife, Rachel, had been stabbed dead.
According to a senior police officer, Rachel had attended the crusade, where a dispute among church members escalated into violence. In her attempt to quell the fight, she was tragically stabbed in the neck with a sharp object.
Mr Johnson, according to the Police, “told us that while she was separating the fighters, one of them stabbed her in the neck with a sharp object. And she started bleeding.
“She was immediately rushed to Igando General Hospital. But all efforts to revive her proved abortive as she bled to death.
“Her body was deposited at Mainland General Hospital Mortuary, Yaba, for autopsy.”
The Lagos State Public Relations Officer, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, was contacted for an update.
He said: “The suspect is still on the run. We are yet to make any arrest at the moment but efforts are being made to arrest the fleeing perpetrator.”
