Pregnant woman arrested for killing mother over plantain in Rivers

The Rivers State Police Command has arrested a pregnant woman identified as Blessing Godday for allegedly stabbing another woman, Mrs Imeran Idema, to death over a bunch of plantain allegedly stolen by the former in Adada community in the Abua/Odual Local Government Area of the state.

Blessing, 32, who is a mother of nine, reportedly stabbed Idema for trying to stop her from running away with a bunch of plantain she allegedly stole from a plantation while trying to get food for her children.

Though the incident occurred on January 28, 2003, the police arrested Blessing on Friday.

It was gathered that Mrs Idema, who was keeping watch over the plantation for her family, had told Blessing to drop the bunch of plantain but she refused leading to an argument.
