Suspected rapist stabs man, 2 wives

A suspected rapist has stabbed two housewives and their husband in Suleja, Niger State.

One of the affected women said the incident took place at Kaduna Road in Suleja around 11.30pm on Friday during a heavy downpour.

She said, “Our husband was passing the night in the room of the first wife, when the man forced my own room door open.

“He came in naked and dragged me into my bed, holding me by the neck and hitting me with a knife at the same, while warning me to remain quiet.”
