The arrest was carried out in collaboration with Lagos PSP police and the cooperation of the GNR from Alvalade do Sado.

The jilted 45-year-old man is believed to have turned up at his former girlfriend’s home in Lagos and broke the door down.

He then stabbed the woman’s stepfather who came to her defence.

According to PJ police the man was only saved from death thanks to the swift arrival of paramedics.
