A 32-year-old woman, identified as Modinat Saka, has been arrested by the Ogun State Police Command for allegedly stabbing a 40-year-old man, Ganiu Abdullahi, during a domestic altercation in the Agbado area of the state.
According to police sources, the incident occurred around 7 pm on Wednesday at Ifelodun Street, Agbado, after a disagreement reportedly broke out between the suspect and her tenant, Ganiu Abdullahi.

The victim was pronounced dead from the resulting injury.
