According to Ishola, his girlfriend had a habit of carrying a small knife whenever she visited him, leaving him curious about why she always had the weapon with her.

Initially, the soldier assumed she carried the knife for self-defence, considering the security challenges in the region. However, his perception changed after he jokingly asked her about it and received an unexpected response.

Falmata reportedly told him that he would discover the knife’s purpose if he ever attempted to end their relationship.

Sharing the story in a Facebook post on Friday, Ishola recalled how the incident made him reconsider his romantic relationship.

“As a soldier, I discovered something in Maiduguri that still makes me laugh whenever I remember it,” he wrote.

He continued:

“I was dating Falmata, a beautiful Shuwa lady.

“She would visit me regularly and somehow, she’s always with a small knife.

“At first, I assumed it was for self-defence because of the insecurity in Maiduguri.

“One day, I jokingly asked her, ‘Falmata, why do you always carry this knife?’

“She said, ‘Try breaking up with me and you will understand.’ Breaking up with you ke? I no dey mad!”

The soldier added that his girlfriend’s response prompted him to make a quick decision.

“That same week, I quickly applied for a course in Lagos. My love for Falmata was strong, but my love for life was stronger,” he added.

The Edo State Police Command has arrested a 21-year-old man, identified as Michael Samuel, over the alleged murder of his girlfriend, whom he reportedly met through social media.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

The state Commissioner of Police, Patrick Daaor, disclosed that the suspect and the deceased initially connected online and developed a friendship after communicating for several months.

According to Daaor, Samuel later invited the woman to his residence in the Ahor area of Benin City, where he allegedly stabbed her to death with a knife.

The police commissioner stated that the suspect had been taken into custody and would be charged in court after investigations were concluded.

However, Samuel has offered a different account of the incident, claiming that the woman was injured during a struggle over a knife following an argument between them.

Speaking in an interview, the 21-year-old insisted that he did not intend to kill her.

“I didn’t mean to kill her, but she got injured in the process of struggling with her for the knife during an argument,” he said.

The suspect explained that he had met the woman on social media and that their friendship developed over several months of online conversations before she decided to visit him.

He said they were initially having a discussion at his residence, but the conversation eventually escalated into an argument.

“On the day she came to my house, we were discussing, but the discussion snowballed into an argument. In the process, she picked up a knife and intended to stab me,” he claimed.

Samuel further alleged that the woman sustained an injury to her neck while they were struggling over the knife.

He maintained that he attempted to save her after she was injured but was unable to prevent her death.

“I didn’t mean to kill her. I tried to save her after she was injured, but she died,” he said.

The police are expected to conclude their investigation before proceeding with the case in court.
