Loverboy, Edafe Thomas, who stabbed his girlfriend, Stella Bob Manuel, to death after she jilted him, is now on danger list as his health deteriorates fast.
Thomas had on Monday afternoon, in the Ijeshatedo area of Lagos, stabbed Stella to death after she told him she was no longer interested in the relationship.
Thomas who also inflicted knife cuts on himself, said the heinous act was in fulfillment of an oath he and the girlfriend swore to that they would die together if they ever split.
Twenty five-year-old Thomas was arrested by the police and taken to hospital for treatment after the incident.
The Delta State-born Thomas was placed on admission but later developed internal bleeding, which forced doctors to operate on him before his transfer to the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID), Panti, Lagos on Wednesday evening by detectives at the Ijeshatedo Police station.
Daily Sun gathered that shortly after his transfer to the SCID, the loverboy became sick and by Thursday morning, he was quickly rushed back to the hospital to save his life.
A police source said: "Yesterday (Wednesday) it dawned on him that Stella has truly died from the injuries he inflicted on her. He broke down and has been crying. Since then, he has been very ill.
"We are giving him the best of medical attention. He may be a suspect, but we don't want him to die in detention," the source added.
