The 35-year-old suspect identified as, Habeed Kasali, was arrested by the police for allegedly killing 32-year-old Bamidele Johnson.

According to reports, the suspect had, on several occasions, accused Bamidele of sleeping with his wife, an accusation the deceased refuted, only for him to end up stabbing the victim with a pair of scissors on one occasion.

Kasali was said to have confronted Bamidele once again on Saturday which caused a quarrel between them.

Bamidele was immediately rushed to a hospital on Isuti Road in Egan, Lagos, but was confirmed dead by the doctor.
