The Edo State Police are searching for a man named Timothy Gilbert who is accused of hurting his girlfriend, Angela Ogah, who is 40 years old. The attack is said to have taken place in Ihovbe Quarters, which is in the Ikpoba Hill area of Benin City.

Police confirm investigation
Speaking on Wednesday in Benin, the command’s spokesperson, CSP Moses Yamu, confirmed that officers are actively searching for the suspect.
He appealed to members of the public to provide credible information that could help locate Gilbert, stressing that cooperation is crucial to the investigation.
According to Yamu, the couple had been involved in repeated disputes linked to allegations of infidelity, which escalated into a confrontation before the attack.
Authorities warn against domestic violence
Yamu advised people experiencing relationship challenges to seek peaceful solutions and walk away from tense situations rather than resort to violence.
He stated that no emotional relationship should lead to harm, noting that the command remains committed to tackling domestic-related offences in the state.
Victim receiving treatment
Ogah is currently being treated at a private medical facility, where her condition is reported to be critical but under close supervision.
Her lawyer, John Izegaegbe, has submitted a formal petition to the Edo State Commissioner of Police, Monday Agbonika.
He called for urgent action to ensure the suspect is apprehended and brought to justice without delay.
Residents of the community expressed shock over the incident, describing it as disturbing and unacceptable.
The police have assured the public that efforts to track down Gilbert are ongoing, and further updates will be communicated as the investigation progresses.
