It was gathered that Oke stabbed Allia in the neck with a broken bottle during a fight on Wednesday night in their one-room apartment.

Allia reportedly bled to death as a result of the injury and Oke fled to the Ugborikoko area, neighbouring Warri, after committing the act.

The suspect was, however, apprehended and handed over to the Nigerian Police Force ‘B’ Division on Thursday, December 15.

During interrogation, Oke explained that he was the one collecting money for their compound since there was a light problem in their neighborhood.

He said the fight broke out when Gaga refused to refund the sum of N300 which a tenant had paid to him when he was not around.

He said during the fight that ensued between the two of them, one of his friends Tega, who was around broke a bottle and gave him with which he used to stab Allia to death.

When contacted, the spokesperson for Delta Police Command, DSP Bright Edafe, confirmed the incident, saying efforts were ongoing to apprehend Tega, the alleged accomplice.
