A quiet neighborhood in Lagos was thrown into chaos after a man allegedly stabbed his ex-girlfriend in a fit of jealous rage. The incident, which occurred at the victim’s new partner’s residence, has left residents in shock and sparked outrage over rising cases of domestic violence in Nigeria.
According to eyewitnesses, the suspect, whose identity remains undisclosed, stormed into the home uninvited and launched a brutal attack on his former lover. The victim sustained multiple stab wounds before neighbors intervened, forcing the assailant to flee. Emergency responders rushed her to a nearby hospital, where she is currently receiving treatment for life-threatening injuries.
Local police have confirmed that an investigation is underway, with efforts intensified to track down the perpetrator. Community leaders have condemned the attack, calling for stricter enforcement of laws against gender-based violence.
"This is not just a crime against one woman; it’s an attack on the safety of our society," said a women’s rights activist familiar with the case. "We need stronger measures to protect victims and hold offenders accountable."
The incident has reignited discussions about Nigeria’s domestic violence crisis, with many urging authorities to prioritize the protection of vulnerable individuals.
