A jilted husband identified as Okoye Gabriel has been arrested
by the police at Ikotun Division in Lagos State, Southwest Nigeria, for
allegedly pouring a substance believed to be raw acid on his wife, Charity.
She was severely burnt and sustained injuries on her body.
The 33-year old Enugu State-born man unleashed his anger on his
wife for allegedly dumping him.
Gabriel is currently being detained at the police cell at
Ikotun, while his estranged wife, Charity has been rushed to
the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital, LASUTH, Ikeja, Lagos where
doctors are battling to save her life.
The incident happened at the popular Governor Road
in Ikotun, Lagos.
P.M.NEWS gathered that
Gabriel did the introduction to marry Charity at her family’s home about four
years ago at Enugu State and had not concluded her traditional marriage rites
before he brought her to Lagos.
They lived together as husband and wife and their union produced
a child.
Trouble started last year between the couple, when Gabriel
had his suspicions that Charity had another lover. She denied the
allegation on several occasions, but her husband did not believe
her. At a time, she complained to her friends that she was tired of
his accusations and decided to quit the marriage.
She reportedly told her husband that since he does not trust
her, there was no need being in the marriage.
She took their only child to her village and returned to Lagos
to live separately from her husband. Later this year, Gabriel discovered that she had
returned to Lagos. He traced her to Ikotun where he begged her to come
back.
She refused and told him that the relationship was over. When it
was obvious that he could not convince her to come back, he got the
substance, poured it on her face and other parts of her body and fled.
The police started a manhunt for him and eventually arrested
him. Sources at the station confirmed the incident and told our
correspondent that he will soon be charged to court.
When P.M.NEWS visited the station, the
Divisional Police Officers (DPO) CSP Akika was not around to comment on the
case. Other sources confirmed the incident and told our correspondent
that he will soon be charged to court.
