A source added that Felix was stabbed with a broken bottle and had bites all over his body.

Vanguard gathered that before the ugly incident, the deceased had been warned of an impending danger by a prophet through his wife.

But the deceased was said to have visited the church where the prophecy emanated in anger to warn the prophet to steer clear of his affairs.

The prophet reportedly also warned him to desist from illicit love affairs.

By the time his friend got to the hospital he met him dead.

The police later arrested the suspect following information given by the deceased’s friend.

The corpse of the deceased has been deposited at the General Hospital, Ikare for autopsy.
