Key Points:
- Police arrest Lintex Ogale after a night home attack
- Neighbours act fast and seize him before officers arrive
- Family says the pair split in August 2023
Shock hit Lagos on Thursday night. A young woman named Deborah Moses from Benue lost her life. She worked as an interior decor pro. She had just done her National Youth Service Corps.
Her sister says Lintex Ogale is the ex. The pair split in August 2023, she says. He kept to harsh threats after the split. He said no man would wed her, the sister adds.
How Ogale reached the estate and the flat
Ogale wore a dispatch look to trick the gate. Guards refused him entry near the main post. He then climbed a fence and reached the block. He cut a gas pipe to spark fear of blast.
He moved on to the woman’s door at once. He broke in and stormed the small sitting room. He held a knife and went for the woman. He stabbed her many times till she fell.
What neighbours did and what police confirm
Loud cries drew people from rooms on the floor. They rushed in and fought to seize the man. They pinned Ogale and stopped his fresh move. He tried to harm himself; they stopped him fast.
Police teams got there and took Ogale in. Officers confirm the arrest and say checks now start. They will take notes and scan the estate logs. They will view any clips from the gate or halls.
Family voice, work life, and city mood
Her family calls her bright, kind, and keen on work. She loved neat, warm rooms and happy clients. Friends say she kept hope and drive each day. They mourn her short life and ask for calm.
