He was said to have stabbed the woman in the stomach with a pair of scissors. She was rushed to a hospital in the area but, sadly, died on arrival.
It was learnt that a friend of the deceased had visited her last Monday when the incident happened.
Bose and the friend were said to be talking about a lost mobile phone when the suspect interfered.
It was gathered that she cautioned Zubairu not to meddle in their discussion and afterwards, an altercation ensued between both. He become enraged and descended on the woman with the scissors.
A police source told Punch that the suspect was described as violent by some residents of the area. He added that some neighbours claimed he was on drugs.
The source said, “Many residents within that area said he was a drug addict but that has not been confirmed. I learnt the woman (Bose) had always been trying to avoid him because he was troublesome.
“On that day, the victim and her friend were chatting and he interrupted. She told him to mind his business and that infuriated him. He removed a pair of scissors he hid in his trousers, stabbed her in the stomach and fled.
“The woman lost a lot of blood. She was pronounced dead on getting to the hospital. She was pregnant, but was not living with her husband.”
Zubairu, said to be in his 30s, was later arrested by detectives from the Okene Police Division while the late Bose had been buried according to Islamic rites.
Police say the case has been transferred to the SCID and the suspect will be charged to court soon.
