A young Nigerian medical doctor has died after being stabbed
by a lady from Ukraine with the support of her father.
Gbolade Ibukun Ejemai was stabbed by a lady identified as
Victoria Popravko after which her father hit him on the head with a hammer in
Ukraine.
According to reports,
Gbolade was in a relationship with Victoria, a mother-of-two. They got into an
argument and she went for a weapon.
Narrating how Gbolade
was stabbed to death, Dr. Ajayi, a friend of the deceased, said: "Victoria
Popravko invited Gbolade Ejemai over to her house on on Friday, August 8, 2019,
to talk things over in the morning.
"They’ve had some prior discussions which nobody really
knew for sure as they were in a relationship. He went over to hers, it wasn’t
his first time visiting her but turned out to be his last.
"They got into
some arguments and one thing led to another, she stabbed him in his abdomen,
twice, puncturing a couple of organs and landing him in coma. He lost about 40%
of his blood volume and that led him to a very critical condition.
"He was taken in for the first surgery on the same day
and we waited almost 24 hours for him to get conscious. On Sunday, he opened
his eyes and was able to recognize people.
"Then he told his side of the story about how
Victoria’s father realized that he wasn’t dead after the stab wound and went
ahead to hit him with a hammer on his head.
"We didn’t know
about the hammer and its impact until Gbolade himself woke up and spoke up. We
were hoping for a miracle and praying he got better until Monday when he
developed a complication and had to be operated on the second time
"He was taken in
for the second surgery and it went well. He didn’t come conscious though. By
Tuesday afternoon, he gave up the ghost."
Victoria was arrested
at the scene of the incident but has now been released on bail less than 24
hours later because "she had two kids to cater for" and they couldn’t
keep her until the investigation was done and over with.
Lamenting the
injustice, Dr. Ajayi said: "This is unfair judgement because she was
caught at a murder scene. It is a serious case and we need to put our voices
together to avenge our brother’s death. We will not be silenced! We will not be
cheated! Gbolade deserves justice and we can make it happen."
