PUNCH Metrolearnt that the woman, identified simply as Adenike, and her family were attacked on Tuesday at about 2am on Eyin Iga Street.

Our correspondent gathered that the robbers, who were armed with knives and cutlasses, reportedly gained entrance into the house after damaging the gates.

It was learnt that when the robbers got to Adenike’s apartment, there was a struggle during which one of the robbers, identified as Quadri Iginla, cut her with a knife.

Adenike was said to have wrenched the knife from Iginla, and stabbed him in the stomach.
The robbery suspect reportedly lost balance and fell off from the two-storey building.

Neighbours, who learnt of the robbery, were said to have alerted the police from the Adeniji Adele Division.

The other suspected robbers reportedly escaped after the police got to the area.
The policemen were said to have rushed Iginla, who was unconscious, to the Lagos Island General Hospital, while Adenike was also taken by her family to a private hospital.

When our correspondent got to the area on Thursday, it was learnt that Iginla died in the hospital.

Speaking withPUNCH Metro, Adenike’s husband, who declined to give his name, said the robbers injured his wife in the hand with a knife, adding that there was a struggle during which Iginla was pushed off the building.

He said, “We cannot confirm the number of the robbers. They entered my apartment at about 2am. One of them injured my wife in the hand and there was a struggle. As this went on, other people called the police and a patrol van was sent to our street.

“The robbers quickly fled from the house. One of them, who had sustained a knife injury, fell off the staircases. The policemen took him to a hospital for treatment.”

A police source told our correspondent that Iginla was not attended to at the general hospital for lack of a vacant bed. He added that the robbery suspect died at a health center on the Adeniji Adele Road.

He said, “The police patrol team responded to a distress call on the street at about 2.30am. A male robbery suspect, Iginla, was found injured. The suspect and others, who are still at large, allegedly entered Adenike’s room. While making away with possessions, the woman overpowered one of them, and stabbed him in the stomach.

“She was also injured in the hand. During the struggle, others escaped, but the robber fell off the building. The police took the suspect and the victim to the hospital.”

A resident, who spoke on condition of anonymity, told our correspondent that Iginla’s girlfriend showed up at the police station, and wanted to know where he was being treated.

He said, “No one in the area knew the identity of the injured robber. His girlfriend showed up at the station, and was asking the police to let her stay with him, but they did not allow her.”

Our correspondent gathered that the knife had been recovered, while the case had been transferred to the State Department of Criminal Investigation.

The Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Patricia Amadin, confirmed the incident. She added that the command was on the trail of other members of the gang.

She said, “The team of policemen was led by the Divisional Police Officer, and the robbery suspect was found unconscious, having fallen from the two-storey building.

“He was rushed to a hospital where he later died. The corpse has been deposited in a morgue for autopsy. Investigation continues as the command is on the trail of the fleeing gang members.”

After God, fear woman

Good for him.

Direct entry to Hell fire for the thief.

Dont mess with Lagos Island women, most of them are hustlers and they behave like men.

Kudos to the woman for defending herself in a courageous way, but must be careful next time because it might be more dangerous than this.

Foolish and petty armed robbers, their mate dey rob banks, dem go they rob poor hustlers for house. May God continue to catch una.

Everyday for thief, one day for owner but that one day always brutal.

Iron Lady

If not because of the name, I would have thought she was a warri woman. Na warri this kain thing fit happen.

No dulling,no time to check time!

Mbok dis woman o stunch die, infact PMB should as a mata of oyency asign her as d adc 2 d first lady.

After recuperating, the woman should be conscripted to the military kia kia

Chaii strong woman.

And they say yorubas are coward, that woman get mighty heart to confront that kind armed robber, na oyinbo women dey get that kind power

My kind of woman! Blessings!

Correct.. Op Give that woman a some dollars

Adenike should relocate asap. Her safety can't be guaranteed there again for the robbers might come back to avenge the death of Iginla.

I wonder what role her husband played when his wife was forming 007?

Iron lady indeed!

I like this biatch! Keeping it gangsta as always! Queen Nike! Abeg pmb national award should be loading!

From another angle: Please what was her husband doing during the struggle? Was he assisting in the fight or did he dock?

They should park out quietly from that compound unless the other members of the gang are arrested immediately.

Kudos to the Lady and all other Mums in the world.

That woman can do better than the Nigerian military against Boko Haram

Men are the head while women are the neck. Without the neck, the head can function properly. Who say women no get power? He never see the fury of a woman.

what should we now do

everyday na same news

Good..

Strength of a woman...
A woMAN indeed.

This woman is courageous

Insecurity in that country is alarming.

I can imaging what the woman encountered. Armed robbers attacked us in 1992, it was a bad experience.

Instead of nigeria moving forward, nigeria moved backward.

Gangsta wife.
A husband should not try nonsense with this kinda woman

She should be in d Force pls

She has defended her family well.
Never underestimate a woman

Sometimes you can do the unthinkable when you see death staring at you in the face, I wish the woman quick recovery.

It is sad that the armed robber died, investigation would have been easier with him around.
