“Ojo (Ijabike) bought her a phone and she brought it to the office that morning. He called her and said he forgot the charger at home, that she should come over to pick it.
“It was the charger she went to pick when he locked the door against her and wanted to sleep with her.”
The barber, who said they had been dating since 2014, said he had warned Olawale to stop collecting gifts from the deceased.

I tried my best to always please her, but I am aware the guy was also giving her money and gifts and I knew his intention was not pure.On visiting the private hospital, where the duo was rushed to on Modupe Shittu Street, a worker, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, explained that the deceased was still alive when he was brought to the hospital.
“When he bought her the phone, I frowned at it. I was told it was on Friday when she was on her way to work that he called her to come over to his place to take the charger of the phone which he forgot to give her.
“That was how he wanted to take advantage of her and things went awry,” he said.
“When they were rushed here, they were both alive. We, however, observed that the man was stabbed in the heart region. He died soon after. The girl also sustained injuries. I learnt that it was after the girl stabbed him that he collected the knife and began stabbing her in anger,” the worker said.The Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer, Kenneth Nwosu, confirmed the incident, adding that investigations were ongoing.
