A jealous lover on Valentine’s Day, inflicted horrific facial injuries on his lover and a rival at Langbasa, in Eti-Osa area of the Lagos.

The angry man identified simply as Gbenga was said to have sliced the face of his lover, Magdalene Onyebuchi with a razor blade.

Gbenga also attacked his rival identified as Olatunji, and after beating him abandoned him with bodily injuries.

A friend to Olatunji, who gave his name as Bashiru disclosed that Gbenga had been dating Magdalene before Olatunji.

He said because Gbenga was a violent type who usually beat up Magdalene at every slightest provocation, the girl dumped him for Olatunji.

Bashiru said moreover, Olatunji works with a bank but Gbenga had no job thus Olatunji had been taking care of the girl’s needs.

“Magdalene is a very fine girl any man will see and admire. Bashiru was dating her before but he was very hostile and violent.

The girl is a quiet girl. She is scared of Gbenga. Gbenga is responsible. So when Olatunji came her way she was very happy.

Her problem became how to dump Gbenga who later knew about her relationship with Olatunji to the extent of warning him not to go near the girl.’’

He said the crisis came to a boiling point when Gbenga caught the duo on Valentine’s Day making out.

On Valentine’s Day, Magdalene was coming from her residence to where the bus that was taking us all out for fun was parked along Badore Road when Gbenga held her back.

Olatunji wanted to intervene so he (Gbenga) used the razor in his hand to slice Magdalene’s face. When Olatunji protested, he punched him several times and he bled from the nose.He left him with a black eye also.

The party was cancelled because we had to rush them to a private hospital while Gbenga ran away from his residence.”
