A 41-year-old woman, Oluwakemi Odugbesan, has been murdered by suspected armed robbers around Oduntan in Ketu, Lagos. The deceased was said to have been stabbed multiple times by her attackers around 6 am on April 10, which happened to be her husband’s birthday.

It was gathered the woman was returning from a night vigil when her attackers, in an attempt to collect her phone and handbag, stabbed her multiple times on the chest and rib regions. Sources said the deceased, her husband and 3 children were billed to relocate to Canada in a few weeks’ time before her unfortunate death.
