Man Kills Lover For Declining Marriage Proposal by etenyong(m): 4:11am On Aug 01, 2014
A 28-year-old man, Raphael Effiong, has been
arrested by the Lagos State Police Command for
allegedly killing his lover, Gift Sunday, in a hotel
because she refused to marry him.
Our correspondent learnt that while 26-year-old
Sunday, who lived on Fadiya Street, Ketu, Lagos,
was a fashion designer, Effiong, an indigene of Uyo,
Akwa-Ibom State, was working as a driver in a
telecommunications company in Lagos.
According to the victim’s relatives, Sunday had met
Effiong sometime last year, and the duo had been
having an affair since then.
Our correspondent further learnt that Effiong had
on many occasions proposed to marry the
deceased, but the latter was said to have turned
down his request stating that he was a difficult
man.
On Thursday at the command’s Criminal
Investigation Department quarters, Yaba, Lagos,
where Effiong is presently being quizzed, a police
source said the suspect revealed that he killed the
deceased because she refused to marry him.
It was gathered that Sunday was allegedly stabbed
his lover on the arm and the breast on the evening
of Monday, July 28 after the duo had checked into a
hotel on Yusuf Eleran Street, Ketu, Lagos.
Speaking with PUNCH Metro , a relative of the
deceased, who identified himself simply as Dickson,
said Effiong had attacked the deceased barely a
month before he eventually killed her.
He said, “The incident happened on Monday
evening. It was shocking to all of us. Gift prepared
some food, and took it to the hotel on his
invitation. They got a room, and checked in. What
then happened was that Raphael, who had hidden a
pair of scissors in his pocket, swooped on Gift and
attacked her.
“She began to scream, but there was no quick
response. He injured her brutally with the scissors.
It was after a while when some guests in the hotel
heard her screams that they came around and
asked Effiong to open the door, but he refused.
“They forced the door open, found Sunday in a pool
of blood and alerted the policemen from the
Alapere division. This was not the first time he
would attack her. About a month ago, while he had
come on a visit and the two were alone at home, he
had attacked her because she was not ready to
marry him.”
Our correspondent learnt that after the incident at
that time, Sunday’s elder sister, who she was
staying with, advised her to break the relationship
with Effiong, but the man pleaded with his lover to
forgive him.
It was gathered that after the police had arrested
Effiong, the deceased was rushed to a hospital in
the area, but she did not survive the incident as the
doctors reportedly said had lost too much blood
from the wounds.
The acting Lagos State Police Public Relations
Officer, Lelma Kolle, said there was a
misunderstanding between the lovers and the
suspect stabbed Sunday, who died in a hospital. www.punchng.com/metro-plus/man-kills-lover-for-declining-marriage-proposal

MAN ; Marriage is a matter of choice not force. You should hav look 4 someone else rather than killing her cos of her refusal to marry u.

WOMAN; you were right on ur decision not to marry him but u should had ended d relationship wit him. you didnt want to marry him but u were still cooking for him even til ur last day on earth. Well, my God hav mercy on u and grant ur soul external rest. RIP
