According to the report, Adeniyi, an indigene of Ijebu in Ogun State, and Anita had been at logger heads for a while after Anita allegedly called her a prostitute during a quarrel because she was single mother with children.

The name calling did not go down well with Adeniyi who planned to confront Anita on that fateful day and when she did not locate her, she transferred her aggression to her husband.

She reportedly attacked the victim from behind with the knife, leaving his ear dangling and bleeding profusely.

The matter was reported to the police and Adeniyi was arrested and taken to court for the alleged offence, where she was charged with inflicting bodily injury on Chukwu.
