"A case of attempted murder was reported to the police. The victim went to his friend, a woman who is a divorcee, in her house. One Ajegba Joseph, a hunter, aged 38 years, who is also having an affair with the woman, went to visit her on the same day in possession of an unlicensed single-barrel gun," Oladipupo stated.

The suspect, upon seeing the victim with the woman through the window, allegedly shot him in the leg. The police quickly intervened, rescuing the victim and recovering the weapon. The victim is currently recuperating in the hospital.

In a confession, Joseph expressed his anger and disappointment upon finding his colleague with his girlfriend. "I went out hunting after I had taken some bottles of beer, but I ran out of cartridges. I wanted to return to the house of my girlfriend to sleep there. When I got there, I saw the door locked. I now went to the window and I opened it and saw a co-hunter sleeping with my girlfriend. That was why I shot the gun in my hand," he explained.
