The assailant, a mother of three children allegedly stabbed the victim, described as the younger brother of her husband, to death with a penknife, at their family house located on 52 Ladega Street, following a misunderstanding.
The incident, which occurred at about 10am on Tuesday, took the Oriuwa family from Okwelle Okigwe, Imo State, residents and neighbours by surprise, as no one thought that a little quarrel could lead to murder.
Trouble ensued when the suspect's generator, which she used in her shop in the building, caught fire. The victim, it was gathered, confronted his sister-in-law, cautioning her against carelessness that could set the building ablaze. The woman reportedly got angry and challenged the victim.
Daily Sun gathered that when the victim saw that the matter was getting out of hand, he retired to his room, but the suspect stormed his room and started smashing his property.
In the process of trying to stop the suspect, whose husband was said to reside abroad, she allegedly pulled a knife, stabbed the victim on the hands and stomach and fled.
Sources stated that the victim was rushed to Zollinger Hospital on Taiwo Street, Olodi Apapa, where he was confirmed dead.
A witness revealed that after stabbing the victim, the suspect ran to Tolu Police Station to report that she had been assaulted by a man. But while she was making the report, tenants in the building also came to the police station to report the death of the optician and the police arrested and detained the woman.
Following his death, youths in the area went on rampage, setting property belonging to the suspect on fire.
Meanwhile, the matter has been transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID) in Panti, Yaba, while the body of the medical doctor has been deposited in an undisclosed mortuary.
When contacted, the Police Public Relations Officer of the Lagos State Command, DSP Ngozi Braide, confirmed the incident and said investigation was on going.
"Yes, I have heard about the matter, but we are still investigating it," she stated.

It appears in fact, that the trend may be very popular in the UK and US thanks to a notorious website called 'Sugar Daddy.com, which boosts of millions of members. See a new report which gives an insight on the fast growing 'sugar daddy/sugar baby trend after the cut:
Hundreds of students in the UK have signed up to a "Sugar Daddy" dating website within the past year in order to foot the cost of rising tuition fees, it has been revealed.
The site, which boasts over one million students worldwide on its register, matches wealthy individuals with impoverished "sugar babies" who are desperate to make ends meet at university.
SeekingArrangement.com claims to arrange "mutually beneficial relationships" between wealthy (usually male) individuals and students. On average, a university Sugar Baby will receive a monthly allowance of £5000(N1.3million) from her Sugar Daddy. Sugar Babies have reported feeling required to have sex with their Sugar Daddies, wanting to get this part of the arrangement "over and done with as quickly as possible."
However, the site experienced a 54% increase in student membership in 2013.
As of January 1 2014, one million students worldwide have signed up to SeekingArrangement.com, the world's largest Sugar Daddy site. Among them are are 208 students from The University of Kent, 195 from The University of Nottingham and 175 from The University of Manchester.
Despite 64 out of 122 institutions raising the average cost of undergraduate degrees last year, British universities accepted a record high of half a million students to their courses. Founder and CEO of SeekingArragment.com, Brandon Wade, maintains that there is a direct correlation between the 2012 rise in tuition fees and the site's popularity.
According to the CEO:
"The Student loans lead to endless debt which amounts to more than the average graduate who earns £21,000 can handle. Sugar Daddies provide real solutions to the problem of student debts,"
"We are not only helping students achieve financial freedom, but also indirectly relieving the government from the burden of unpaid loans... If less students depended on loans and more graduates paid off their loans, then the overall budget for higher education would decrease dramatically." He said.
Since it's launch in 2006, SeekingArrangement.com has attracted 2.7m members. Students account for over 42% of the Sugar Baby members, making them the site's largest demographic.
One young woman posted her experiences on the site, saying:
"I started on this site a few months ago, not knowing what I was doing. A few friends had referred me to this particular site so I tried it out. Almost a year later I have a sugar daddy and have met so many great men.
"Opportunities which I had never imagined had arisen. This site really helps young, smart, beautiful and ambitious women to get out there and get recognised... There are always going to be flakes but so far, every guy I have met up with has been real and always has something to offer, and not just money or sex."
In return, the site promises the Sugar Babies a "Modern Gentlemen", describing them as:
"You are always respectful and generous. You only live once, and you want to date the best. Some call you a mentor, sponsor or benefactor. But no matter what your desires may be, you are brutally honest about who you are, what you expect and what you offer."
SeekingArrangement.com has released the following list of "The fastest growing Sugar Baby schools in the UK". The universities are ranked according to new sign-ups for 2013:
1. University of Kent - 208
2. University of Nottingham - 195
3. University of Manchester - 175
4. University of Cambridge - 166
5. University of Leeds - 143
6. University of St. Andrews - 141
7. University of Bristol - 134
8. University of Exeter - 122
9. University of Northampton - 117
10. University of Westminster - 110
11. Queens University of Belfast -100
12. University of Arts London - 89

17. King's College London - 59
18. University of Ulster - 54
19. University of Worcester - 51
20. Swansea University - 49
In a previous interview with GQ, SeekingArrangement CEO Wade defended his site saying:
"Calling women 'prostitutes' who want something more out of a relationship than just this abstract notion of love is a comment and a stigma that is born from pure jealousy.
"The truth is, in my opinion, love is a concept that's been invented by poor people.
"These people aren't wealthy, they aren't beautiful, they aren't the cream of the crop - so what do they have? They have love. For everyone else there's our website."

Bayern Munich star Franck Ribery and Real Madrid's Karim Benzema have both been acquitted over charges of soliciting an under-age prostitute.
Ribery, 30, admitted to paying for sex with Zahia Dehar back in 2009, but denied being aware that she was younger than 18 at the time of the incident.
Benzema, 26, rejected all accusations of having any sexual involvement with the same girl, with the Criminal Court of Paris ruling there was not enough evidence to prosecute either player.
The age of consent in France is 15, but paying for intercourse with someone below the age of 18 is classed as having sex with a minor.
Ribery, Benzema and Zahia all opted not to attend the court case.
