Silverbird worker stabbed eleven times.

The body of a female worker with Silverbird
Cinemas, Aishat Noble-Mustapha, has been
recovered at her house in Ogudu GRA, Lagos
State.
PUNCH Metro learnt that the 26-year-old lady was
formerly in the communications department of the
company’s branch on the Victoria Island before
she was recently posted to the box office section
in the Ikeja Mall.
The Kogi State indigene had reportedly closed
from work on Saturday, March 14, around
7.30pm, and got home, when she was murdered.
A source, who pleaded anonymity, said she was
stabbed about 11 times in the stomach.
He said, “She works with the Silverbird Cinemas
in Ikeja. She was even at work throughout last
week.
“She closed from work on Saturday and when she
got home, we learnt she was stabbed in the
stomach 11 times by a lover, who she had a
disagreement with.
“We don’t know the motive for the crime, but we
learnt it was a man she knew that killed her.”
Another source told our correspondent that the
corpse of Noble-Mustapha was taken to a
mortuary in Yaba by policemen from the Ogudu
Police Division.
When contacted, a worker at the customers
service of Silverbird Cinemas, Ikeja, confirmed
that the lady was his colleague.
He said, “Yes, she was working here. We
discovered that she didn’t come to work the day
after the incident and when we made enquiries,
we were told she was killed at her home.
“She had just alighted from her car and opened
the gate to her house when she was killed.”
The Silverbird Television, in a report on Tuesday,
said she struggled with her assailant.
The report, which also featured statements from
co-workers, said Noble-Mustapha was a well
loved worker, who gave her best to the company.
It said, “She fought bravely to stay alive from
what is left from the pool of blood (at the
entrance into the house) and the gutter in which
she fell as she struggled.
“Her flat was under lock and key while her car
was parked on the permises.”
It was said that the victim’s parents were not
based in Lagos and she had stayed with a
guardian before moving to Ogudu.
Noble-Mustapha’s guardian, Abubakar Haruna,
told Silverbird TV , the family wanted justice.
He said, “Aishat’s death is very painful and very
unfortunate. It is one of the most painful news I
have ever received.
“We want the law enforcement agents to help us
unravel the mystery surrounding this cold-blooded
death of my wife’s niece.”
The Police Public Relations Officer, Lagos State
command, Kenneth Nwosu, confirmed the
incident.
He said, “The suspect has been arrested. The
case file and the suspect are going to the State
Criminal Investigation Department for further
probe.
“The police have also deposited the corpse in a
mortuary.”
