Reactions from friends of the deceased suggested that they had a history of violence.
The tragic death came three days after Akintoye posted a status update on his Facebook page, wishing his girl, Osazuwa, a happy birthday.
The post was accompanied by a selfie of the duo cuddling in the doorway, with an inscription, ‘she remains my queen.’
He wrote: “Baby, on your birthday, I pray that you get whatever your heart desires. May this special day of yours bring with it God’s blessings and love into your life…. I love you.”
On Saturday, a day after the post, Akintoye took to his timeline again and wrote, “Sometimes, a man needs to die to leave (sic) again.”
Sadly, on Monday, he was allegedly stabbed to death by Osazuwa.
A friend of Akintoye, Onyenma Chibundu, stated that he had been warned several times to stay away from Osazuwa to no avail.
“Young Tommy, you were told several times to leave this b***h you took as your GF, you disagreed. Now she has taken your life with her own hands. RIP bro; (I) will forever miss you,” he wrote.
Another friend of the deceased, identified simply as Jnr Slimzy, also corroborated Chibundu’s post, saying he had tried in vain to separate the lovers.
“I also warned him. Why as I travel this thing con happen? God knows best brother,” he stated.
In his post, yet another friend, Jeda Harry, said the death was avoidable if Akintoye had yielded to his warning to quit the relationship with Osazuwa.
Grieved Sofia Blessing said it was unfortunate that such fate befell Akintoye “after you told her you loved her on her BD (birthday), she stabbed you. Such wickedness!”
According to Punch, a police source said there was a disagreement between them around 8am and he was said to have assaulted the suspect.
“The suspect retaliated and stabbed him with a pair of scissors in the chest. He was rushed to a hospital, but he bled to death,” the source added.
