The relationship between the two lovers turned sour after the single mother of twins started receiving attention from a new lover.

She said:

My ex-boyfriend came to my house in the afternoon and gave my twins five hundred naira for feeding. In the evening, he came back to my house and said he would come and sleepover at my place in the night," the suspect explained.

“But I told him that I am not interested in him anymore. Then he requested the money he gave my twins and I gave him the money immediately. Suddenly, he started beating me

"He beat me because when he came to my house, he met my present boyfriend with me. He was angry and started beating me. So, when I knew he had overpowered me, I used a knife to stab him in his stomach."

Meanwhile, the victim was rushed to the Trauma Centre for treatment while the suspect was arrested and charged to court.
