A man identified as Oruma has been arrested by the police for allegedly stabbing his 20-year-old friend in the neck with a piece of broken bottle over a N2,000 debt in Oza, Edo State.
The victim, Frederick Eze, was stabbed by Oruma following a fight that broke out when he confronted him for refusing to pay his debt.
He was rushed to a private hospital on a wheelbarrow after several taxi drivers refused to take him.
According to a source, Oruma hails from Ebonyi State and works in an ice-cream company in Benin.
“Frederick went to demand N2,000 owed him by Oruma when an argument broke out and Oruma stabbed Eze,” the source says.
The police questioned Eze at the hospital when he came out of coma before arresting the suspect.
Confirming the arrest, the police public relations officer, Edo state command, Noble Uwoh, said, “He has been arrested. The two people involved in this matter are friends.”
