Thereafter,
Sandra contacted her family members in Lagos, informing them of what had happened
to her and they rushed to Delta State and brought her to Lagos for proper
treatments. But while she was receiving the treatment, Henry, feeling betrayed,
stormed their Lagos home. She told us that the moment Henry entered their
apartment, her sister’s children welcomed him without knowing that he was out
to kill them
