Speaking with P.M.NEWS at the station, Bassey claimed that his girlfriend whom he brought from Akwa Ibom, has been sleeping with other men because of his financial challenges.

According to Victoria, she has been responsible for Sunday’s upkeep since he lost his job, adding that she did not deserve such treatment from him.

“He became jealous because my business is flourishing. This man could have killed me. Thank God he did it in the evening and not in the midnight while I was asleep,” she said.

The matter could not be taken to court because the magistrates are on strike and the courts are shut.
