A report by graphiconline disclosed that the woman was the former girlfriend of the victim, however, they were unable to marry due to religious differences.

“Graphic Online gathers that the two were in love and had planned to marry, but the father of the woman objected to their union. This is because the guy was an Ahmadi Muslim whilst the woman belongs to the orthodox”.

The two, the report said still met privately, whenever the man visited the community even though the woman was already married to a man her father prefers, however, on the said day luck eluded them as they were followed and pounced on by the husband and his friends.
