Incessant sexual demands has cost a man, Edet Ebong, his life after his 24-year-old fianceé, Blessing Edet, stabbed him to death with a kitchen knife at Ogombo village, Lekki in Eti-Osa Local Government Area of Lagos State.
Narrating the ill-fated incident which happened on August 18, 2015 the suspect who is currently cooling her heels at the police custody said: “We lay down to sleep and he started making advances on me for sex. I told him I had a hectic day and was tired. He flared up and started beating me.
“He broke the standing mirror in the room and injured me above my left eye with the broken glass. In defence, I ran to pick up the kitchen knife I had used while preparing ‘Indomie’ noodles for him.
“I mistakenly stabbed him in the stomach.”
The victim reportedly continued to chase his lover around the room whle the blood flowed, until he became too weak.
The suspect continued: “After stabbing him, the fight continued. He went under the bed, brought out a cutlass and said he was going to kill me. It was at this point that my younger brother who had been trying to stop us, but to no avail, rushed out to call neighbours.
“My landlord heard the shout and rushed into our room. He saw Edet bleeding while I was holding a knife. He alerted the police and Edet was rushed to the hospital. Unfortunately he died two days after.
“Edet was my fiancé. We have been in a relationship for about 18 months now. However, six months ago, he had trouble with his accommodation; so I told him to move in with me since we were already engaged.
“We have never had a misunderstanding before. But on that fateful day, I had just returned from the day’s business and was resting when he came in. Edet came in drunk. He requested I prepare ‘Indomie’ noodles for him, which I did.
“After eating, he asked me of the engagement ring he had given to me. I told him it was on the table.
“This was before he started beating me. Sincerely, I stabbed him unintentionally, even while he was in the hospital, I prayed he would survive. I don’t know what came over him that day. We had good plans for the future. He was not just a lover but also a brother.”
New Telegraph reports that the duo had been engaged for the past 18 months and were at the verge of finalising their marriage plans when the unfortunate incident happened.
