A 25-year-old man, Abubakar Ibrahim, has been arrested and charged in Lagos State for allegedly stabbing his girlfriend, Rose Bassey, four times inside a hotel room over sex.
P.M.EXPRESS reports that the incident happened on 26th April, 2026, at about 2200hrs at De Twins Hotel located at Oladunmi Street, Raboil, Meiran, Lagos.
According to the Police, the suspect,
