Police in Lagos are currently in search of a man identified as Keke, alongside his wife, who went into hiding after he allegedly stabbed a fashion designer, Daniel, to death in the Iwaya area of Lagos State.
It was gathered that the fleeing suspect returned from work when one of his neighbours reportedly informed him that an illicit affair was going on between his wife and Daniel.
The information was said to have angered Keke, who stepped out of his apartment to challenge the victim.
It was learnt that Keke threatened the fashion designer with a knife, as Daniel fled the scene and entered his apartment.
The suspect was said to have barged into the apartment and stabbed the victim in the chest.
Daniel was rushed to a hospital where he died around 11pm on Monday.
Keke and his wife were said to have fled their home to avoid being attacked.
The state Police Public Relations Officer, CSP Adekunle Ajisebutu, confirmed the incident.
He said, “As soon as the incident was reported, police detectives attached to the Sabo division immediately visited the scene. The victim was taken to the Harvey Road Hospital, Yaba, for medical attention, but he died while being attended to.
“The body has been deposited at the Yaba Mainland Hospital’s morgue for an autopsy.
