According to family source, the deceased refused to accept proposal to marry the suspect because he is “a difficult
man”.
A member of the deceased's family who chooses to be unnamed said;
“The incident happened on Monday evening. It was shocking to all of us. Gift prepared some food, and took it to the hotel on his invitation. They got a room, and checked in. What then happened was that Raphael, who had hidden a pair of scissors in his pocket, swooped on Gift and attacked her.
She began to scream, but there was no quick response. He injured her
brutally with the scissors. It was after a while when some guests in the
hotel heard her screams that they came around and asked Effiong to open
the door, but he refused.
They forced the door open, found Sunday in a pool of blood and alerted the policemen from the Alapere division. This was not the first time he would attack her. About a month ago, while he had come on a visit and the two were alone at home, he had attacked her because she was not ready to marry him.”
