There was pandemonium in Okereke Street in Mile 1 Diobu axis of Port Harcourt on Sunday night when a man simply identified as ‘Doctor’ allegedly stabbed his female lover to death over allegations of infidelity.

Report says the man had accused his female lover, identified as Ima, of cheating on him leading to an altercation between them.

A resident in the area who preferred anonymity due to the sensitive nature of the incident said the argument rose to a fever pitch as the man reached for a knife and stabbed the woman, who reportedly bled to death.

He added, “There was a crowd in the compound because of what happened. So the caretaker of the compound quickly rushed to the Azikiwe Police Division in Mile 2, Diobu to make a formal complaint about it and the man was arrested.” Punch
