P.M.EXPRESS reports that the incident happened at Haruna area of Ifako Ijaiye, Lagos.
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.

During the altercation, Faith held Alozie and Chris used a bottle to break Alozie’s head, injured him seriously, damaged his wrist watch and phone worth N120,000 and N250,000 respectively.
The matter was reported to the Police, who moved into action and arrested Chris for assaulting Alozie and damaging his property worth the said amount. The lady, Faith, was detained for conduct likely to cause breach of public peace by inviting the two suitors at the same time and causing the fight.
They were consequently charged before the Ogba Magistrate Court for the alleged offence.
