Ebonyi State Police Command, Tuesday said there is a serious man-hunt to arrest a fast-food vendor in Ishieke campus of Ebonyi State University for allegedly macheting his lover with a knife.
The incident reportedly occurred Monday afternoon after the food vendor reportedly caught the lover with another woman in their apartment.
The boy, identified as Eze Irem was said to have matcheted Ezinne Ibe Ogbonna and fled the area.
When contacted, the State’s Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Loveth Odah confirmed the incident and said Police has commenced the investigation.
According to her, the said the girl was assisting the Police in searching for the suspect, and that the suspect, Irem would be arrested no matter where he is hiding.
“It’s a case of assault occasioning harm. A boyfriend was said to have macheted his girlfriend on the wrist part of the hand. The boy is at large. He just fled the scene immediately after committing that offense. But we are serious on the matter and the girl is assisting the Police in trailing the boy and as soon as we sight him, we will arrest him and he will face the charge.
“The boy and the girl are fast-food sellers. They sell fast foods together as boyfriend and girlfriend. The boy’s name is Eze Irem while the girl’s name is Ezinne Ibe Ogbonna. Ezinne has been given medical performance (form) to go to the hospital.
“It is not good to resort to violence. When two people are in love and they have issues, they should seek alternative dispute resolution or consult their elders to help in settling the matter or rather report to the Police instead of resorting to violence to wound one another”, she said.
