The promising life of Deborah Moses, a 26-year-old interior designer known to her friends and clients as Deb’rah Porsche, was brutally extinguished on Wednesday night in her Lagos apartment, a victim of the very man who once claimed to love her. Her ex-boyfriend, now identified as Lintex, carried out a premeditated and vicious attack, fulfilling a threat he had ominously repeated for months: “If I don’t have you, nobody will.”
Recall we brought you the news of the sad incident, though the information were sketchy, this is a undated version of the story from sources and eye witness.
The tragedy unfolded with chilling calculation. According to reports, Lintex disguised himself as a dispatch rider to gain access to Deborah’s gated estate. When vigilant security personnel grew suspicious, he scaled the perimeter fence, demonstrating a terrifying determination to reach his target.
His intent was horrifically clear. Upon arriving at her apartment, he first attempted to trigger an explosion by cutting the pipe to her cooking gas cylinder. When this failed, he broke in and attacked Deborah with a knife, stabbing her multiple times and ending her life.

This was not a crime of passion in the heat of the moment; it was the cold, executed finale of a prolonged campaign of harassment. Deborah’s sister revealed that the couple had ended their relationship over a year ago. Since the breakup, Lintex had persistently stalked and threatened Deborah, his chilling ultimatum leaving no room for doubt about his intentions: “If I don’t marry you, blood will flow.”
Deborah, a recent graduate of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) program, was focused on building her career and future in interior design. To protect herself and her peace, she had been actively avoiding Lintex’s unwanted calls and advances. Her efforts to move on were met with a fatal response from a man who refused to accept her autonomy.

In the immediate aftermath of the attack, neighbors apprehended Lintex and restrained him until the police arrived. He is currently in custody, and the Lagos State Police Command has confirmed that a thorough investigation is underway.
The case has sparked outrage and grief, with Deborah’s family and human rights activists demanding absolute justice. They are calling on authorities to ensure this case is not swept under the carpet, highlighting it as a stark example of the fatal consequences of intimate partner violence and the dangerous sense of entitlement some men feel over women’s lives.
Deborah Moses is remembered not as a victim, but as a vibrant, talented, and rising star in her field, tragically cut down in her prime by a toxicity she bravely tried to leave behind. Her story is a devastating reminder that “no” must be enough, and that threats must be taken with the utmost seriousness.
