A 19-year-old girl, Omowole Opeyemi, has been arrested for allegedly stabbing her 22-year-old boyfriend with a broken bottle during a fight in Okitipupa, Ondo State.
PUNCH Metro learned from a Facebook post by Ikale Heritage TV on Sunday that the problem started from a disagreement between them.
In a video shared by the page, Opeyemi explained that a quarrel broke out between her and the victim. This led her to break a bottle and stab him.
The spokesperson for the Ondo State Police Command, Abayomi Jimoh, confirmed the incident in a phone call with our reporter on Sunday. He said the suspect is now in police custody.
Jimoh stated that the incident took place on June 12, 2026, at a club on Broad Street in Okitipupa. He explained that the argument escalated into a fight, and during this, Opeyemi allegedly attacked the man with the broken bottle.
He added that initial investigations showed the victim suffered injuries and was quickly taken to the hospital for care.
