Blessing Edet, 24, residing at Lekki, who was arrested for
stabbing her fiancé (Edet Ebong ) to death with a kitchen knife revealed that
quarrel and subsequent fight was over sex.
Blessing recalling August 18, 2015: “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 defense, I ran to pick up the kitchen knife I had used while
preparing indomie noodles for him. I mistakenly stabbed him in the stomach.”
Rather than look for ways to stem
the blood flowing out from his stomach, Ebong allegedly continued to chase his
wound round the apartment until he became too weak.
Blessing went further to say: “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.”
Blessing, further narrated: “Edet
was my fiancé. We’ve 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’ve 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 him
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, my stabbing him was not intentional,
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.”
