During the public fight that ensued, Chris used a bottle to break Alozie’s head and inflicted serious injury on him and he was rushed to an undisclosed hospital for treatment.
According to Police sources, the lady, Faith met Chris and Alozie separately and promised get married to them at same time. She then invited them to come to her house in order to meet with her parents for the marriage introduction.
