Rivers State Police Command have arrested 46-year-old Abi Baragon over assault. He allegedly stabbed his side chic multiple times during June 2025. A viral clip showed her bleeding while pleading for help.
Police spokesperson SP Grace Iringe-Koko formally announced the arrest today. Operatives used intelligence-led policing to track Baragon to Port Harcourt. The update follows the recent FCT police permit checks halt.

Police say the attack followed the victim’s refusal to marry him. She had discovered he was already married with four children. The suspect denied that motive during questioning at the station.
