A 47-Year-Old Woman, Rachel Johnson, has been stabbed to death while separating a fight between Church members at Abaranje, Ikotun area of the State.
A Senior Police Officer said that at about 3 a.m. on Saturday, the deceased’s husband, Okerube Johnson, came to Ikotun Police Station to report that his wife, Rachel, had been stabbed dead.
