I waited 10 years to kill best friend who snatched my boyfriend – Lady gets arrested in Lagos

Anita Ofili, a suspected killer, has been arrested by the police for allegedly stabbing her friend, Glory Okon, to death.

According to reports, Ofili revealed that she waited for ten years to take her revenge on Okon, who had snatched her boyfriend a decade ago.

The incident happened in Okon’s apartment at Greenville Estate in the Ajah area of Lagos state.

It was reported that the two friends had reconciled just two weeks before the incident. However, on Sunday, neighbours heard a cry for help coming from Ofili’s self-contained apartment at around 1:20 pm.

They broke down the door and found Ofili stabbing Okon in the neck with a kitchen knife.

One of the co-tenants of the building stated that the landlord’s daughter heard the scream and alerted the neighbours.

The police were contacted and Ofili was subsequently arrested.

During her confession, Ofili reportedly said that she had been nursing her anger for the past ten years and was waiting for an opportunity to avenge herself.

She allegedly stabbed Okon out of anger for taking her boyfriend away from her.

The eyewitness added; “She peeped through the window and saw a masked person stabbing a lady. She rushed and called her father, who alerted other tenants that forced the door open, only to discover that the masked person was Anita Ofili.

“The whole room was filled with blood. We discovered that the victim was still breathing. We had to tie Ofili’s legs and hands to prevent her from escaping.

“Before the arrival of the Police, Ofili did not show any sign of remorse. She said she would explain to the Police what happened.

“She claimed the lady in question was her friend and that her action was in revenge for what her friend did to her.”

After her arrest, Ofili explained why she killed her friend whom she attended the same university with and had been close for two decades.

She said: “Glory and I had been good friends for years, but she betrayed that friendship by snatching my boyfriend.

“I had the intention of marrying him. Her action strained the relationship and we went our separate ways for 10 years. We only reconciled two weeks ago. I invited her to my house and the rest you know.
