He said: “I am the caretaker of 37, Okwelle Street, Mile 2 Diobu. Nnanna stabbed me. We were packing sand, and I called him to shift one side that we wanted to pack sand.

“He went and carried a bottle and broke it; he came and stabbed me. He stabbed me in the neck Tuesday night. This earlier morning, he barged into my house and stabbed me in the head.

“I am 65 years old. I want the Police and security to arrest him and ask him what I did. I have reported to Azikiwe Police Division.”

The victim said he had reported to the Azikiwe Police Division, where he was issued a doctor’s report.
