A man is currently being remanded in prison for a brutal attack on his neighbour over unfounded allegations of witchcraft.
The victim, Ehis Ibhaze
A 37-year-old man, Abuchi Simon, has been arrested and charged before Isolo Magistrates court for allegedly stabbing his neighbour, Ehis Ibhaze, over allegation of witchcraft in Lagos State, according to P.M news.
Ibhaze was allegedly stabbed several times by Simon who allegedly accused him of waging spiritual war against his family through witchcraft which he claimed hindered his progress in life.
The incident happened at 14, Ifelodun street, Ilasamaja, Lagos where they reside. Simon reportedly attacked Ibhaze with a knife in the bathroom when he went to take his bath in the evening.
It was gathered that both Simon and Ibhaze are married and have children, but the two families have been at loggerheads, while their neighbours have tried to settle their quarrels to no avail.
According their neighbours, Simon had accused Ibhaze for attacking him spiritually and threatened he would kill him if he did not desist from the attack on his family.
On the day the incident happened, neighbours rushed to the bathroom and rescued Ibhaze who was bleeding profusely after he was stabbed. He was rushed to the hospital where he is currently responding to treatment while Simon is being held behind bars pending on when his case in court is concluded.
