SHOCKING: You'll Never Believe Why This Policeman Stabbed His Colleague 57 Times (PHOTO)

The Provost section of the Lagos State Police
Command has commenced an orderly room
trial for a 36-year-old police corporal, Halidu
Shaibu, for the alleged murder of his
colleague, Yeiwa Babangida.

According to police authorities, the suspect
stabbed the deceased 57 times in a room they
both shared in the Tinubu area of Lagos Island.
Shaibu, an indigene of Bauchi State, told police
investigators that he killed 34-year-old
Babangida because the late cop was having
sexual relations with his wife.
It was learnt that the suspect is attached to the
E Department at the Force headquarters annex,
Kam Salem House, Obalende, Lagos.
The deceased, who hails from Gombe State, was
said to be attached to police Mobile Force 2,
Lagos.
Shaibu, while addressing senior officers, said, "I
am married with three children and I have been
a policeman for about 10 years. My wife
confessed to me that of my three children, only
one was my biological child, while the other two
belonged to Babangida.
"Initially, I did not believe this because
Babangida is also married with children, so I
kept the information to myself. Babangida and I
shared a room in the Tinubu area and I
continued to relate with him normally."
The suspect said on October 12, 2013, after
they shared a plate of noodles, he challenged
Babangida over the allegation and a fight ensued
between the two of them.

He said, "Babangida cooked a pot of noodles
and we ate. After eating, I asked him about the
allegation, but he just attacked me all of a
sudden. Because he is bigger than me, I had to
overpower him, so I picked up a broken bottle
and stabbed him in self defence.
"After stabbing him, I went downstairs to inform
my neighbours because it was not my intention
to kill him."
It was learnt that the matter was immediately
reported at the Lion Building Police Station after
which the case was transferred to the homicide
department of the State Criminal Investigation
Department, Yaba.

A police source, however, said investigations
revealed that the murder was premeditated.
He said, "Shuaibu is a liar. Neighbours told us
that on the day of the incident, there was a
naming ceremony holding downstairs and
Shuaibu attended it. He then went back to his
room where he killed Babangida.
"Our investigations, as well as a medical report,
revealed that the suspect stabbed Babangida 57
times. The suspect also used the base of a
standing fan to hit Babangida in the head
several times in the head before he gave up the
ghost. The suspect claimed there was a fight,
but there are little scratches on his body.

"According to eyewitnesses, after killing the
deceased, Babangida returned to the naming
ceremony downstairs, ordered a bottle of
Heineken and shouted, 'I don kill Babangida for
upstairs'."

The police source said investigations revealed
that the suspect was serving in Osun State and
had been declared a deserter.

It was learnt that the police investigators were
also trying to ascertain how Shuaibu worked his
transfer to Lagos.

Meanwhile, it was learnt that the suspect's wife
had fled since the incident occurred.

When contacted on the telephone, Police Public
Relations Officer, Ngozi Braide, confirmed the
incident.
She said, "The policeman in question is facing
an orderly room trial. At the end of the trial, he
may be dismissed."
