The murder confession of a woman who claimed she waited 10 years for revenge has shocked many. Anita Ofili admitted to killing her friend Glory Okon, citing retribution for stealing her boyfriend as the motive. The tragic incident occurred at Ofili’s one-room apartment in Greenville Estate, Ajah, Lagos State. Ofili was found using a kitchen knife to stab Okon, leading to Okon’s death due to excessive blood loss at Lagos Island General Hospital. Witnesses from the building described the horrifying scene, with Ofili showing no remorse and expressing her intent to explain herself to the police.

The suspect and the deceased had been close friends for nearly 20 years, having studied together at the same institution. Their friendship had suffered a 10-year separation before they recently reconciled, only for a dispute over boyfriend snatching to escalate into tragedy. Ofili’s claims of betrayal and revenge shed light on the grim circumstances that led to the fatal altercation.

The spokesperson of the Lagos State Police Command, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, confirmed the incident and provided details of the police response and subsequent investigation. The suspect was apprehended, the weapon recovered, and the victim’s body taken to the Mainland General Hospital mortuary for autopsy and preservation. The case was transferred for discreet investigation at the State Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department (SCIID) in Yaba. This disturbing turn of events serves as a reminder of the tragic consequences that can arise from unresolved conflicts and festering grudges.
