A 35-year-old lover, identified as Eyor Eketen, has killed his rival, a married man known simply as Charles in Yenagoa, Bayelsa State.

It was gathered that Eketan stabbed the family man multiple times in his girlfriend’s apartment located at Nikton Road, Kpansia.

Charles was said to have left his family for a pleasurable moment with his concubine in Nikkton Road, unknown to him that danger lurked around.

His lover, Lovina Okon, who hails from Akwa Ibom State, was said to have alerted her neighbours that her visitor had been killed by Charles, her Yenagoa-based lover.

Startled neighbours reportedly rushed to her room and found Charles stabbing his rival with fury.

A source, who spoke in confidence, said: “Neighbours met the sight of an angry man, who was cursing and stabbing another, who lay in a pool of his blood and too weak to put up a fight. People ran helter-skelter, shouting and calling for help.

“The knife man identified as Eyor Eketen, 35, is cooling off in police cell in Yenagoa, the capital of Bayelsa State over the murder of Charles. (The Nation)
