Lagos police have arrested a man for allegedly bathing his ex-girlfriend with acid after she dumped him.
According
to 23-year-old caterer Rosemary Nanaifa, her former lover, Paul
Nwokobia, had repeatedly threatened her since she jilted him. But she
couldn’t even imagine that he would go to the extent of bathing her with
acid.
Speaking from her hospital bed at the University of Lagos Teaching Hospital in Idi-Araba, Lagos, Nanaifa said that the incident happened on June 3, 2015.
“I was at work one day when a private number called me around 4pm. The caller was a lady. She said she wanted me to bake cake for her. She said she would call back in the evening,” she recalled.
Nanaifa said that the woman called her again and suggested to meet at Surulere, adding that she would be in a red car.
“I was wearing a red blouse too. When I got to the spot, I did not see any red car and she was not calling back. Suddenly, I noticed someone drew my hair from behind and suddenly poured acid on my face down to my waist,” she added.

Next moment Nanaifa fell to the ground, screaming and twisting with pain. Passersby noticed her and rushed to the hospital, where she received medical treatment. People also alerted the woman’s family.
Speaking about the relationship with her ex-boyfriend, the woman said that they had been dating for five years but she left him last September because he did not have a stable job and he wasn’t honest.
“There’s no big deal in jilting your lover. People do it every day. I didn’t expect Paul to have gone to that extreme. I was the one who led policemen to his house. He did not suspect we would trace the incident to him,” the victim’s elder brother said.
Kenneth Nwos, the state police public relations officer, confirmed the incident. He added that the suspect and three others had been arrested and taken to the state criminal investigations department for further investigation.
Earlier this year, a similar incident happened in Oko-Ogbele community in Asaba, Delta state. A jealous housewife identified as Rosemary bathed her rival with acid water and jumped into the River Niger after the terrible act.
