A disturbing incident has been reported in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, where a woman, Orinemi Ayanate, was allegedly stabbed by her fiancé over a minor issue.

Ayanate is currently fighting for her life in a hospital, where she is receiving treatment for her injuries.

According to a video circulating on social media, Ayanate was seen instructing someone to contact her mother to come to the hospital while she was being stitched and bandaged.

The video shows Ayanate covered in blood, and bandages on her head stained with blood.

She said, “IB did this to me. Please help me and call Mummy on WhatsApp. Please help me and reach out to them. I am in a hospital on Odili Road.”

The incident has sparked outrage, with many calling for the fiancé to be held accountable.

The suspect allegedly seized Ayanate’s phone, handbag, and wig before fleeing the scene.

Neighbours came to her rescue and rushed her to the hospital.

Ayanate’s friend, Mr. Promise Wosu Junior, popularly known as Wene Port Harcourt, confirmed that she has been given four packs of blood due to excessive bleeding. Wosu described the incident as an extreme case of domestic violence, stating that Ayanate’s fiancé has a history of abusing her.

“Ayanate is a very good friend of mine, and I’m deeply concerned about her well-being,” Wosu said. “The relationship has been abusive, but this incident is the most severe. We urge the police to thoroughly investigate and bring the perpetrator to justice.”

Ayanate’s friends are calling on the Rivers State Police Command to thoroughly investigate the incident and arrest her fiancé. They have expressed outrage over the alleged action, describing it as a heinous act of violence against women.

The police have been notified about the incident, and an investigation is reportedly underway. The victim’s friends have urged journalists to reach out to Ayanate when she regains strength to allow her to share her ordeal.

The state police command is yet to react to the incident at the time of filing this report. (The Guardian)
