Thirty-eight-year-old Wasiu, who worked as a vulcaniser, and his friend, Aderinto, a welder, reportedly came back from their workplaces in the Ebute-Meta area of Lagos State, and met distraught Mutiat at home.

The two were said to have headed for the herbalists’ house after they were told of what transpired between Mutiat and the herbalists.

Our correspondent gathered that on getting to the house, matters degenerated, which led to the herbalists stabbing Wasiu and Aderinto to death.

It was learnt that the neighbours reported the incident at the Agbado Police Division.

The herbalists were subsequently arrested and detained.

When our correspondent visited the area on Monday, Mutiat said everybody scolded Kabirat for failing to greet anyone, but she went to her house to tell her brothers another story.
