“On the day of the incident the victim was on her way home after close of work when the defendant approached her and demanded for the key to her room. Onogwu asked who the defendant was and why she needed the key to her house, but ‎the defendant suddenly brought out a razor blade and started cutting her on her head and left breast.”

She then tried to leave but passersby apprehended her and asked her to take the victim to the hospital for treatment, but she refused, saying she didn’t have money to pay for the treatment.”

It was the passersby, Job said, that took Onogwu to the Bar Beach Police Station from where she was taken to a hospital.”
