Pandemonium in Badagry over iman’s alleged bid to use lover for money ritual
Slashing the victim’s throat
.
Narrating her ordeal, Miss Amadalat said “We both had a quarrel before
now for close to three weeks. I knew his first wife before she died but
the second wife did not want him (Sambo) to marry me but he resolved
that he was going to marry me. I even got pregnant for him but he
rejected the pregnancy at some point in time.
“I went to report him to a Muslim cleric but the cleric said there was nothing he could do to convince my lover to accept the pregnancy. For about two months, I did not call Sambo and because of the issue, I changed my telephone number.”
She said after Sambo apologized to her she forgave him.
“Later that night, he asked me to wrap myself in a white clothing of which I obliged. The man called Ifa wanted to use a cloth to cover my face and in the process, Sambo came in with an iron rod and hit me on the head. I shouted but nobody heard me because it was a bushy area.
“Ifa and Sambo attacked me with a knife but I managed to lock myself in a room. I now lied to them I had called one of the neighbours, it was in that process that they left and I managed to escape from the house.”
It was gathered that when Sambo’s accomplice, Ifa was slashing the victim’s throat, she was able to muster courage by hitting Ifa on the head with a bottle and in the process ran to a nearby street where a carnival was taking place.
Some residents, who saw her drenched in a pool of blood with injuries inflicted on her neck and other parts of her body, quickly rushed her to an undisclosed hospital in the area.
Both men are nowhere to be found.
