Sources had reported that Funmilola was said to have been invited to the house her boyfriend rented in ljapo, GRA, Akure three days before the attack. She was reportedly having a nice time with him when he allegedly attacked her, leaving her with varying degrees of matchet cuts on her face, shoulders and hands.

The suspect fled while the neighbours rushed the victim to the Police Clinic for treatment where she was rejected and referred to the University of Medical Sciences, Teaching Hospital, Akure.
